The Royal Canadian Legion Ontario Provincial Command Branches and Ladies’ Auxiliaries Charitable Foundation have made another generous donation to the Hawkesbury and District General Hospital (HGH) Foundation. The $5,200 donation is being allocated toward the purchase of orthopedic instruments for HGH’s new orthopedic program, which will enable more residents of our region to receive day surgeries such as knee and hip replacements at HGH.

The Royal Canadian Legion Charitable Foundation is supported by all Legion Branches and Ladies’ Auxiliaries in Ontario, including Branch #472, Hawkesbury, through donations from their poppy campaigns and fundraising by the auxiliaries. The cheque was presented by members of the Hawkesbury branch.

The HGH Foundation would like to express its sincere thanks to the Royal Canadian Legion Ontario Provincial Command Branches and Ladies’ Auxiliaries Charitable Foundation for their contribution to important orthopedic equipment for HGH and for their many years of generous support of the HGH Foundation.
