Fundraiser brings in $50,000 for Burnaby Hospital redevelopment

Following the inaugural Dragon gala hosted by the Burnaby Hospital Foundation on June 2, which raised over $100,000 to support the redevelopment of the hospital, the foundation hosted an inaugural Mayor’s Lawn Bowling Tournament last week.

"Our very first Mayor’s Lawn Bowling Tournament was an exceptional demonstration of our community’s spirit and willingness to come together to support local health care," Mayor Mike Hurley said in a news release. “The foundation, as well as all our participants, sponsors, business leaders, donors and volunteers, show such dedication to helping make a positive impact in our city,” he added.

The construction of the first phase of redevelopment is intended to upgrade and modernize emergency care, surgery services, maternity and mental health at the hospital, and is expected to be completed by 2025. “Witnessing the Burnaby community come together in such a remarkable way fills us with immense gratitude,” said Kristy James, president and CEO of Burnaby Hospital Foundation in the release. “Local health-care facilities are a crucial pillar of a healthy community, and Burnaby Hospital relies heavily on donations from our community to ensure their health and vitality. The foundation is deeply appreciative of the community’s commitment to support outstanding health care now, and in the future.
