The Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 77 has made a major contribution to the Health Foundation’s campaign to buy vital signs monitors, with $5,000 going to the much needed equipment. Pictured above, Legion President Peter Wyatt presents Ross Fisher, Executive Director of the Health Foundation with the cheque. The Legion has been a long-time supporter of the Health Foundation through the Poppy Campaign, and Wyatt says that their long time support is because the health region takes good care of the local veterans, especially as they get older, so this is a way to both give to the community at large and support local veterans. Fisher thanks the Legion for their many years of support, and says that a contributor like the Legion is something that can help them get momentum on larger projects and continue improving care in the region. So far, the Legion has donated $26,000 to different organizations through the 2014 Poppy Campaign, which was $3,500 up over previous years.
