It goes without saying that we are extremely grateful to have your support, without which we could not meet the vital needs of Rouge Valley. At the Annual General Meeting, we had the opportunity to say the following thanks:

 

Thank you to the Labour of Love Campaign Steering Committee and Cabinet; they volunteered countless hours to bring the newly-opened Birthing and Newborn Centre to fruition. Thank you to Volunteer Services, and our corporate and individual donors for enabling the Foundation to fund $4.3 million of that $20.7 million project. Thank you to the Auxiliary, residents, businesses and the governments of Ajax, Pickering and Durham Region; our massive 140,000 square-foot redevelopment of our Ajax and Pickering campus is over 50% complete. Thank you to our community and monthly donors, our staff and physician donors, our event sponsors and our third-party event holders. In the year since our last AGM, we received 15,218 gifts; thanks to you, we were able to fund $600,000 worth of equipment, including vitally-needed, state-of-the-art items such as sentinel node biopsy equipment, transport monitors and vital signs monitors, and smaller-but-necessary items such as digital thermometres, fridges and wheelchairs.
