A Message to Our Community from the Des Collines Health Foundation Board of Directors
December 9, 2024
Dear Friends,
As the holiday season approaches, we are reminded of the incredible generosity and support our community continues to show us each year. Your contributions directly impact the care we provide, making a real difference in the lives of so many.
This year, however, we face some unexpected challenges. A Canada Post strike, coupled with a small administrative hiccup with the Canada Revenue Agency, has temporarily delayed the launch of our annual holiday appeal and our ability to accept donations at this time. While we are deeply disappointed, we remain committed to ensuring that our outreach is meaningful, timely, and impactful.
We want to assure you that we are actively working to resolve these issues and are excited to share that a refreshed and inspiring appeal will be launched in the new year. In the meantime, we encourage you to stay connected with us for updates.
Thank you for your patience, understanding, and unwavering support. Together, we continue to strengthen the care and services we provide to our community.
Warm regards,
Des Collines Health Foundation Board of Directors

Following Nora’s fall from the monkey bars, our six-year-old daughter received prompt and attentive care at Wakefield Hospital’s Emergency Room.
The attending physician set her arm under conscious sedation after remote consultation with Paediatric Orthopedic Experts in the region. After the procedure, a new set of x-rays confirmed the setting, and the Orthopedic team provided us with a comprehensive plan for her recovery, including a scheduled follow-up at their clinic in just three days.
We are incredibly grateful for the exceptional care Nora received at the Wakefield Hospital – and are deeply appreciative for everyone’s kindness and efficiency.
Nora summed up her experience best: “The doctor is very kind, and he’s very good with body parts!
