RVH staff (from left) Darlene Blackler, Ingrid Gurgacz and Kimberley Sweeney, manager, Obstetrics, Child and Youth, met with Algonquin Ridge Elementary School students Ava and Sarah who were at RVH to donate children’s books for some of RVH’s youngest patients.
The donation was made possible thanks to Algonquin Ridge’s 150 challenge - to coincide with Canada’s 150 celebration - where students were asked to submit proposals on how they can make the community a better place.
Sarah and Ava’s proposal – to purchase and donate books for youth at RVH – was selected to receive funding from Algonquin Ridge Parent Council to help turn their idea into a reality. While at RVH, the students also received a tour of the unit.
