Miracle Weekend will look a little different this year under the coronavirus pandemic.
This year, the event will run Saturday, May 30, from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m.
This event showcases the work of B.C. Children’s Hospital through inspiring stories from patients, their families, health-care providers and supporters throughout the province.
And while the event will be different, it will still feature stories of hope, courage and resilience.
This is the 33rd annual Miracle Weekend and it will be broadcast live on Global BC and Global Okanagan, and via our livestream above.
