The Town of Saugeen Shores is giving its first pledge payment towards the Saugeen Memorial Hospital Foundation’s CT scanner campaign.
This $50,000 donation, presented by Mayor Luke Charbonneau to the foundation board chair Stacey Catalano and CT campaign co-chair Jenny Scongack, follows after the mayor announced the town would pledge $250,000 over five years to support the campaign.
The Saugeen memorial hospital foundation says the campaign is just over 75 per cent of its $3 million goal, as it is now sitting at $2,350,000.
Charbonneau says, “a well-equipped hospital is essential to support the high quality of life that we all enjoy in Saugeen Shores. A new CT scanner will allow Saugeen Memorial to better serve our residents and help us to recruit new primary care providers to practice in our growing community.”
The foundation say its annual spring campaign is underway and is focusing in on reaching the finish line for the CT campaign.
The foundation is urging residents and businesses to keep an eye on their mailboxes for the campaign letter, which contains information on several upcoming community events occurring over the summer to support the CT campaign, as well as a contest to win a private tour for yourself and 11 friends to the 3 Sheets Brewery in Port Elgin and dinner.
