RM of Cana donation

Robert Almasi, the Reeve of the RM of Cana presented a cheque for $1,000 to Ross Fisher, Executive Director of The Health Foundation, to help fund the conceptual plan for a new regional hospital. "Our council thought making a donation toward planning a new regional hospital made a lot of sense as everyone in this area will benefit from a new hospital, and of course we have quite a few rate payers in Sunrise Health Region," said Mr. Almasi. "It will be a few years before a new hospital is actually built, so we thought it made sense to make a donation to help the planning process move along as quickly as possible. There is a lot of growth taking place in this area and it is clear that we will need a new hospital capable of delivering the services a larger population will need," he continued. "This is a generous donation from the RM and we are very pleased to have their support for planning a new hospital," said Mr. Fisher. I have to agree with Reeve Almasi, we can all see the growth and investment taking place in this region, it makes sense that we need to plan to build a hospital that can deliver the services we are going to need in a few years.
