Victoria Foundation Board and Staff Kicks off New Hospital Fundraising with $100,000 Donation.

Mar 9, 2020 | 10:06 AM

We were thrilled to hear from the Premier, the exciting announcement of a new Victoria hospital in Prince Albert.

Our Foundation has enjoyed the trust of our community for the last 35 years.

Since 1985, the Victoria Hospital Foundation has had no other mission but to fundraise and invest millions into local healthcare for the benefit of patients and families here at home.

Our Foundation has been expecting this announcement and as a result, we’ve been preparing internally for a major campaign.

We recognize that a new healthcare facility will require a significant community contribution toward equipment and our Foundation is set to lead the effort.

In that spirit, we’d like to announce a kick-off donation from our board and staff in the amount of $100,000.

Int he meantime, we encourage our community to start thinking about how they would like to support and shape their new hospital and be part of a lasting legacy for their children and grandchildren. Soon, it will be time to truly “Help the Vic.”

Thank you to Premier Scott Moe and the Ministry of Health for recognizing and addressing the needs of our northern communities. It is a great day for healthcare in the north.

“With excitement and renewed hope, our Foundation looks forward to working with all of our donors, surrounding communities, the Ministry of Health, and the Health Authority to achieve what will be a significant leap for northern healthcare.”Sherry Buckler, CEO, Victoria Hospital Foundation.

“The Victoria Hospital Foundation is poised to lead a new hospital fundraising campaign with passion and confidence. Thank you to the Premier and the Health Ministry for this outstanding news which will result in expanded health care services across Northern Saskatchewan.” Lyle Karasiuk, Board Chair, Victoria Hospital Foundation Board of Directors.
