Building Compassion
The Welton Centre, a door this city has never had
The Welton Centre for Hospice Palliative Care: Mississauga's first Hospice Centre, 12 care suites at 2176 Speakman Drive, built so a family can simply be a family again.
The gap, in one line
Mississauga currently has no hospice centre, yet it should have 7 beds for every 100,000 people. The Centre completes the continuum of care: suites for living and dying with dignity, room for wellness programs, counselling, and community connections, under one roof at 2176 Speakman Drive, within Sheridan Park Corporate Centre.
How the path is paid for
More than half of the $28 million is already raised. Donations fund 55% of Community Programs and operations; the province covers about 10% of the building and 50% of yearly operations; the City of Mississauga has provided funding and financing. The rest is the community, finishing what it started, so the doors open debt free.
The timeline
- Construction starts January 2026
- First individuals welcomed by late 2027
- Volunteer roles at the Centre post in its operational readiness phase, anticipated spring 2027
- Cultural inclusion built in: spiritual supports and connection technology from day one
