Enhancement of $1M for RVH's Wild Life Preservation Campaign
In a significant move towards improving mental health care in the Simcoe Muskoka region, CanadaOne Auto has pledged a long-term commitment of $1 million to the Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre (RVH). The donation, to be made annually in $200,000 allotments over five years, will support the expansion of RVH's regional mental health program [1][2].
The donation was announced during the Boots & Hearts Barn Burner hockey game. Gail Hunt, RVH's president and CEO, hailed CanadaOne Auto's contribution as a "bold step forward" in the ongoing Keep Life Wild campaign [3]. This campaign is RVH's $100-million fundraising effort aimed at expanding and transforming healthcare across the region, with the goal of ensuring world-class care is available close to home [4].
The expanded mental health program will focus on enhancing inpatient beds, outpatient services, and healing spaces. This will result in more inpatient beds and new spaces designed to promote healing and dignity. The expanded outpatient services will provide comprehensive care to those in need [5][6].
CanadaOne Auto's donation joins a list of community champions helping to end hallway medicine and reduce wait times. The donation sends a powerful message that mental health matters, and the expanded program aims to bring care, compassion, and hope to people across Simcoe Muskok [7][8].
The exact details of the donation and its recipients were not provided in the announcement. However, it is clear that this significant contribution will make a significant difference in the lives of many. The Keep Life Wild campaign continues to gather momentum, with CanadaOne Auto's donation serving as a testament to the power of collective action in improving healthcare for all.
