Glacier View Lodge is a non profit long term care home operated by Glacier View Lodge Society. We provide private rooms to 101 Comox residents, as well as an Adult Day Program for 75 community clients, a respite bed, community bathing, and caregiver education. Operating funding through the health authority allows us to provide care. It is our generous community donors that help us provide resident quality of life initiatives.
The “Legacy of Light” (formerly the Book of Lights) campaign brings awareness to projects that will give a legacy of comfort to current and future Lodge residents. We are grateful to the Soroptimist International of Courtenay for supporting this initiative over the past 37 years.
Previous successful Legacy of Light initiatives have included our new bus with a wheelchair ramp, new curtains in the resident rooms, and interior redesign projects for our 40+ year old building. This year we are raising funds for quality of life projects that will continue to make Glacier View Lodge feel like home. These are the initiatives that we do not receive funding for, such as gardening, special events and celebrations, recreation technology, community outings, live entertainment, and more.
We invite you to support the Legacy of Light fund with a $20 purchase of a light or lights in memory or honour of someone you loved. Each purchase of a light represents a light and legacy on our tower.
When you look up at night at our lights on the mountain, we invite you to think of the people in your life who have contributed to the amazing community we live in and consider making a donation to the Lodge in their honour or memory.
