For children and their families

Maison Papillon will be all about offering a warm and safe space for children and their families. A space where their needs come first. A space to feel at home away from home. Every day, activities will be organized to support, stimulate and bring joy to the children and their families. Our service offering will include play therapy, arts, yoga, zootherapy, and massage therapy.

Nestled on a 4-acre lot on the Gatineau River, Maison Papillon will provide a total of 8 bedrooms including 6 individual rooms for children and 2 family suites, as well as a recreation and motricity room, a multi-sensory room, healing rooms, an outside play area, a memorial site, an illuminated trail, and much more.

Children and their families will be the heart of Maison Papillon. All care and services will revolve around their needs, accompanying them individually and collectively on their unique life journey.

255 000 $ raised for Maison Papillon Enfants et Familles and Leucan Outaouais

On Thursday, March 27, the 7th edition of the Event Defi des Chefs Leucan, presented by Steamatic, took place at the Hilton Lac-Leamy. 650 guests gathered for this exceptional gastronomic evening, under the honorary co-chairmanship of Nancy Raymond and Lise Sarazin, raising over $255,000 to support seriously ill children and their families in the Outaouais region. A heartfelt thank you to the community and our valued partners who made this grand event possible in support of Maison Papillon Enfants et Familles and Leucan Outaouais.

Beyond the culinary competition, Defi des Chefs Leucan allows both organizations to continue making a real difference in the lives of seriously ill children and their families. Thanks to the generosity of those in attendance, Leucan can continue funding essential services such as emotional support and financial assistance. The funds raised will also allow Maison Papillon to continue offering a full range of pediatric palliative care services for children in the region, while supporting their families throughout the course of the illness.

“Imagine, as a parent, that overnight, all your vital energy must now be directed toward your child’s survival. You are faced with the impossible task of preserving joy and easing your child’s suffering, all while trying to comprehend the cataclysm that illness brings to your family life. Because life around you doesn’t stop. Children remain children. School, work, daily routines, bills—they all continue. Life doesn’t slow down to accommodate illness… quite the opposite. Maison Papillon and Leucan help lighten that burden, and I assure you, there is still life—even after the worst.” – Shared Josianne T. Lavoie, Manager of Maison Papillon Enfants et Famille, in a deeply moving testimony.

The construction phase will begin in the coming months, with the involvement of more than 70 partners from all sectors of the construction industry in Outaouais and Eastern Ontario.
