“Having current equipment in the lab of the regional hospital is very important to legion members, Veterans and many people in the community,” said Legion President Ken Gordon. “It is important to maintain and enhance our local services.”
“The money for this donation came from our annual Poppy Campaign,” he added. “The Poppy Campaign is part of our Remembrance Day observances, and these funds have to be used for charitable activities that will improve the lives of our veterans, retired military personnel, emergency service workers and others in the community. We cannot use funds raised in the Poppy Campaign for regular legion activities.”
“The Yorkton Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion is a strong supporter of the work of The Health Foundation and we are grateful for the continuing financial support they provide,” said Ross Fisher, Executive Director of The Health Foundation. “The equipment we need in the regional hospital lab will benefit everyone who lives in east central Saskatchewan.”
