Ahead of the Boundary Trails Health Centre Foundation’s Annual General Meeting, the BTHC Foundation Board of Directors presented Southern Health-Santé Sud with its first payment towards the $10 million pledge for the expansion of BTHC. Against the backdrop of a busy construction site, BTHC Foundation Board Chair Ben Friesen, along with Vice Chair Ernie Penner and Executive Director Shannon Samatte-Folkett handed over a cheque for $2.5 million. It’s a truly remarkable achievement when one considers that just 12 short months ago, ground was broken and construction began at the expansion site.
The BTHC Foundation is pleased to announce a generous $100,000 donation from the Lorne Memorial Health Foundation. Understanding the vital role that BTHC plays in providing services to their community members, the Lorne Memorial Health Foundation Board recognized the importance of supporting the BTHC expansion and the expanded services that will be offered in our region. These funds will be used to support the future equipment and programming the expanded facility will require. The BTHC Foundation extends heartfelt thanks to the Lorne Memorial Health Foundation Board for their foresight and this incredible gift that will significantly impact our wider community’s future health and well-being.
Morden Children’s Business Market was hosted at Maple Leaf Elementary School on June 3rd. from 5-6 PM (flyer attached). Students from kindergarten to grade 4 created a brand a products to sell at the one-day market. The market gave children the opportunity to learn basic business principals and the importance of philanthropy. Throughout the evening, students and shoppers were encouraged to donate to the BTHC Foundation or Many Hands, and the total contributions were matched by the Morden Area Foundation.
At the end of the evening, the BTHC Foundation received $334.10 in market donations which was then matched by MAF.
Thank you to Maple Leaf Elementary School for the invitation and to the young entrepreneurs, thank you for sharing a portion of profits!
The future of our community is bright!
