The Hawkesbury and District General Hospital (HGH) Foundation is proud to announce a generous $10,000 donation from Hawkesbury Toyota, made by the dealership’s new owners, Peter and Philip McLean and Gabriel Gagnon. The trio, who purchased the dealership in February 2025, are no strangers to community giving. Already owners of dealerships in Lachute and Montreal, they have long believed in the importance of supporting charitable organizations in the communities where they do business.

The cheque was presented to the HGH Foundation in the attached photo. Pictured (from left to right) are: Erin Tabakman (Executive Director, HGH Foundation), Peter McLean (President, Groupe Circuit), and Sandra Sauvé (General Manager, Hawkesbury Toyota).

We are incredibly grateful for this thoughtful gift, said Erin Tabakman, Executive Director of the HGH Foundation. This donation will help fund priority equipment needs at HGH,
directly benefiting patient care across the hospital.

The Foundation is thrilled to welcome the new ownership team of Hawkesbury Toyota as donors, following in the generous footsteps of previous owner, Jacques Yves Parisien. Thank you, Hawkesbury Toyota, for your incredible generosity and for helping the HGH Foundation bring more services closer to home. Together, we are making a difference in the lives of HGH’s patients and their families.
