8th Annual ELGC Vic Hospital Foundation Charity Classic Raises $30,000 for Transport Van for Herb Bassett Home and Pineview Terrace Residents.

The Victoria Hospital Foundation (VHF) is excited to announce that the recent golf tournament held annually in July by the Emma Lake Golf Course has raised $30,000 to fund a dedicated van for the residents in long-term care at the two care homes attached to the hospital.

We’d like to thank Ross & Janet Ethier of the Emma Lake Golf Course (ELGC) for their on-going suppor tof the Foundation and it’s mission to improve healthcare at the Victoria Hospital.

The ELGC holds two tournaments annually with proceeds going towards new medical equipment. Funds raised at the July 5th tournament and future tournaments are going to help our long-term care residents get out into the community without having to pay transport fees or contend with transport booking conflicts.

The van will open up opportunities for residents to attend events, family functions, hockey games and many other adventures.
