Richmond Hospital will be embarking on a major addition soon. This hospital has been serving this community for over half a century. The building is getting old. Also, the population of Richmond has increased considerably during the past few years. With this in mind, in co-operation with the provincial government, Vancouver Coastal Health is planning an acute care tower with the most modern equipment and facilities. Of course, such a huge project will require a lot of financial and moral support from the community. India Cultural Centre of Canada’s Gurdwara Nanak Niwas has been an integral part of this community. As such, this place of worship has launched a fundraising campaign for the Richmond Hospital Foundation. The response so far has been great. In this context, I would like to urge members of our community, especially those residing in Richmond to donate generously to this worthwhile cause.
Donors can come to Gurdwara Nanak Niwas, 8600 #5 Road to donate. If by any chance, anyone is unable to come to the Gurdwara, he/she should leave their contact information. Our volunteers will come to their place to collect the donation. Tax deductible receipts will be issued to every donor. For further information, please feel free to contact the Gurdwara at 604-274-7479 or me at 604-836-8976.
