President’s Notebook
Thank you…
for our greatest year in history!
Ken Mayhew, President and CEO
There is cause to celebrate this spring! Not just the return of the warmer weather – at last! –
but also the extraordinary fundraising success we’ve enjoyed this year because of you, our
most valued donors. You’ve helped us raise more money this year than any other year in
the history of the Foundation. Congratulations!
Philanthropy grew significantly this fiscal
year at all levels across our incredible
communities, culminating in over
$8,000,000 donated to help build the
new Peel Memorial, a new wing for
Etobicoke General, as well as funding
new equipment to support the services
and programs at Brampton Civic.
Much of this outpouring of generosity
was inspired by Orlando Corporation’s
$15 Million Matching Challenge –
the single largest gift ever given to
a community hospital foundation in
Canada. Their challenge was a powerful
call to action and the community, both
inside and outside the hospital, has
responded with unprecedented giving.
Throughout this issue, the many gifts
that have been matched are indicated
with this symbol:
From loyal sponsors to community
donor groups; from employees and
physicians inspiring gifts of all sizes
from grateful patients, the level of
giving and engagement by our partners
has been unparalleled.
Most recently, Local 183 presented
Osler Foundation with a $94,000
cheque to complete the Amigos
Portugueses do Peel Memorial’s
$1 million pledge – ahead of schedule
and the Amigos have announced a
further generous pledge. The newly
formed Canadian Pakistani Friends
of Osler has also announced a pledge
to raise $500,000.
The sponsors and guests of Hockey
Night for Osler and Ski Day helped
both events raise record amounts,
while the second annual Holi Gala
attracted over 750 guests, thanks to

the hard-working, physician led gala
committee, and sponsors, including
entertainment sponsors Ajay and

Community champions are also
helping to attract new friends and
supporters. Private events, like the
one recently held by John Esplen,
president, The Humberview Group,
continue to attract new friends who
learn about their hospital’s expansion
plans and the resulting benefits.
Whether motivated to donate
because of great care received by
you or a loved one, or inspired by the
$15 Million Matching Challenge, every
gift and pledge makes a difference to
patient care. And for that, all of us at
Osler and Osler Foundation could
not be more grateful. Thank you.

Physician Profile: Brampton Civic’s General Surgeons
“We give to increase access to care,
to support innovation and to
improve results.”
If you have been to Brampton Civic lately, you
may have noticed a series of posters on the
service elevators near the auditorium featuring
Brampton Civic’s eleven General Surgeons.
These physicians are the latest team of Osler doctors to
make a group pledge to Osler Foundation, joining the
ranks of other physicians across Osler.
“We all work here and want to help,” says Dr. Priya
Chopra, Brampton Site Chief of General Surgery, speaking
on behalf of the Brampton Civic General Surgeons. “We
deliver excellent quality care through more than 3,500
general surgery procedures a year. By donating, we can
help to build on this excellence and set a good example.”
“For example, our enhanced recovery after bowel surgery
program is helping patients to recover faster, go home
sooner and experience improved outcomes,” says
Dr. Chopra. “We are also improving access to surgery
to diagnose and treat breast cancer, which will help to
reduce the anxiety associated with waiting for surgery.”
“We also have a skilled team of surgeons exclusively
dedicated to treat acutely ill emergency patients who
need surgery and care right away,” says Dr. Chopra.
“Our gift will help to fund equipment that allows us to
continuously innovate and improve access to surgery
that saves lives and provides improved quality of life.
We’re proud to give and work where patient-inspired
care is a priority.”
Osler Foundation thanks the general surgeons who made this group gift, including:

Mr. Badar Shamim and Mr. Tim Iqbal,
Co-chairs of the Canadian Pakistani
Friends of Osler (CPFO), proudly
announced their group’s commitment
to raise $500,000 to help support
Osler’s three hospitals. CPFO’s pledge
will be funded over five years with an
incredible $116,000 in commitments
already raised.
“Good health is important to all of
us and we all have a role to play in
ensuring our community hospitals have
the funding they need to provide the
best possible care for our families,”
says Badar Shamim. “The prevalence
of diabetes, cardiovascular, vascular and

population. The CPFO’s fundraising
efforts are focused on ensuring patients
have access to the best care to promote
better, healthier lives.”
“My two children were born at
Brampton Civic and the care was
excellent,” says Tim Iqbal. “I want to
support the hospitals which are so
important to families like mine. We
all have an obligation to help our
community hospitals as they are the
first place most people turn to for
medical advice and treatment. We need
to ensure our hospitals are equipped
with the best technology to advance
care in our community.”
The CPFO is a group of communityminded business leaders. The
committee meeting was attended by
a number of its members as well as
dignitaries, including Brampton Mayor
Linda Jeffrey.

Forging ahead with
redevelopment plans
Architectural concept of Etobicoke General by Stantec
With warmer weather comes a flurry
of redevelopment activity across
Osler hospitals. In March, Osler and
Infrastructure Ontario announced the
three teams that have been shortlisted as potential candidates to design,
build, finance and maintain Etobicoke
General’s new four-storey wing. The
teams include a developer, design/
builder, finance group, and a facility
maintenance provider.
Construction on the new four-storey
wing is expected to start in Spring
2016. Osler will soon be starting its
Early Works projects to prepare the
42-year old building and systems for the
new addition.

Par tners Spring Edition 2015
Osler is also in the process of
planning for the construction of a
new Ancillary Services Building on the
site of Etobicoke General. An RFP to
qualified teams went out in mid-March
and construction is expected to begin
this summer. The building will house
a number of outpatient programs/
services including a new satellite dialysis
centre. The Honourable Eric Hoskins,
Minister of Health and Long-Term
Care made this exciting announcement
during a recent visit to the hospital.
On Monday, March 16, there was a
fire at the construction site of the new
Peel Memorial. Fortunately there were
no injuries.
Construction has resumed on the
east side of the structure, which was
not impacted in the incident, while PCL
– the construction company responsible
for the project – assesses and makes
safe the areas affected by the fire.
At the same time, Osler continues to
move forward with securing permits,
ordering equipment, reviewing designs,
and meeting with our project partners.
At Brampton Civic, we continue
to make enhancements to our facility.
The Cardiac Procedures Unit is being
reconfigured to offer more recovery
space for patients following treatment.
The expansion is expected to be
complete in June.
‘WALK ON’
AT A NEW FOUNDATION EVENT
Lace up your sneakers and start stretching those leg muscles…
this September, Osler Foundation is introducing a brand new event
that encourages participants to ‘walk ’n roll’ for Etobicoke General.
The inaugural Osler’s Walk ‘n Roll
for Healthy Kids takes place Saturday,
September 19 along the scenic Humber
River in support of Etobicoke General’s
many programs focusing on children’s
and adolescents’ health and well-being.
The five-kilometre walk will bring
together local families, students, business
leaders and community members –
as well as Osler physicians, staff and
volunteers – for a family-friendly, fun-filled
day of walking, rolling, food and festivities
at Etobicoke General.
Those interested in participating
are invited to sign up online as
individuals or as a team. Osler’s
Walk ‘n Roll will also encourage
a little friendly competition with
an internal Department Challenge
for Osler staff and physicians, and
a Corporate Challenge for our friends
in the community.

LiUNA Local 183
TEAMS UP WITH
Amigos Portugueses do Peel Memorial
TO ACHIEVE $1 MILLION PLEDGE
The Labourers’ International Union of
North America (LiUNA) Local 183 donates
$94,000 in support of the new Peel Memorial.
The enthusiasm, generosity and
goodwill of LiUNA Local 183 has
helped the Amigos Portugueses do
Peel Memorial reach their $1 million
pledge ahead of schedule in support
of the new Peel Memorial, now under
construction.
It has been four years since Dr. Ali
Najarali invited Manuel Alexandre to
a Muslim Friends of Osler event and
proposed that Manuel (now Chair
of the Amigos Portugueses do Peel
Memorial) take the lead to create
a similar giving group within the
Portuguese community. No one could
have predicted the incredible outcome.

cheque for $94,000 from (l-r) Marcello Di Giovanni, Recording Secretary, Patrick
Sheridan, Executive Board Member, Nelson Melo, President, Jack Oliveira,
Business Manager and Luis Camara, Secretary Treasurer of LiUNA Local 183.
Alexandre and Najarali (Vice-Chair,
Amigos Portugueses do Peel Memorial)
have worked to help provide a blueprint
for success. Dedicated committee
members of the Amigos Portugueses do
Peel Memorial and enthusiastic partners
such as LiUNA Local 183, as well as
LiUNA Local 506, have brought this
vision to life.
LiUNA Local 183 and Local 506 have
worked in close partnership with the
Amigos over the past three years by
helping to organize fundraising events in
support of Osler Foundation including
dances, barbeques, golf and bocce
tournaments.

The funds raised will enable the new
Peel Memorial to provide specialized
outpatient-based care, including urgent
care, day surgery, and clinics that help
individuals better manage chronic
conditions such as asthma, diabetes and
kidney disease.
“Giving is an important part of
our culture,” says Alexandre. “I’ve
personally experienced the benefits
of philanthropy and how important it
is for people to care for other people.
Through our support of Peel Memorial,
we are also taking care of our children
and grandchildren. And the new
hospital will generate jobs as well as
better health. I could not be prouder to
work within the Portuguese community
to support this life-changing project.”
We give. No matter what.
At S&C Electric Canada Ltd.,
we have a long-standing
tradition of quietly giving
back, each and every year.
Having a great hospital like
Etobicoke General is like insurance –
you never want to use it, but
when you need it, you want to
be sure it is there, ready to help.
It’s important to our team members
and it is important to our business.
That’s why we give, every year,
no matter what.

equipment, through a combination of annual gifts, a
donation of the proceeds from its 60th anniversary
golf tournament, and a new $50,000 pledge made in
October 2014. In addition, the corporation is a loyal
supporter of the Osler Open: Etobicoke Invitational
golf tournament.

Volunteer Profile: Sharron Buchanan
“Volunteering gives my life an additional layer
of meaning and richness.”
Born and raised in Toronto, Sharron Buchanan married at age 20
and three years later, moved to the D section of Bramalea,
where she and her husband, Doug, continue to live.
“My volunteer career began when
the first of our two sons entered
kindergarten,” says Sharron. “I was
invited to chair the parent committee
by the principal, Mr. Hill. I’m proud that
we were able to raise funds to build a
creative playground at Dorset Drive
Public School in 1975.”
Supporting her sons’ activities, Sharron
volunteered and raised money for beavers,
cubs, hockey, baseball, soccer and more.
Sharron’s connection with Osler
began with the birth of her youngest
son at Peel Memorial and visits to its
emergency department.
“My family and I have received
great care in our local hospitals,” says
Sharron. “So when I retired, I began
volunteering at Brampton Civic. I
started volunteering at the gift shop
the day it opened, in April 22, 2008.”
In 2014, Sharron was elected
president of the Volunteer Association.
“A community can be more than the
sum of its parts,” says Sharron. “I feel
it is important to give back to my
community. You don’t have to devote
a lot of time or money to make a
difference. We’re all better for it. And
volunteering gives my life an additional
layer of meaning and richness. I like it
and it matters.”
“There’s so much more to living
here than getting up in the morning
and going to work. There are so many
opportunities to enrich our lives and all
it takes is a little bit of time, effort and
money. I salute all of the volunteers –
at the hospital and in the community
– who give that little bit extra so that
everyone can have a better life.”
Sharron’s sights are set on a big goal,
as president. “When I look back at
my volunteer time at Osler, I hope I’ll
be able to say that, together with the
other volunteers, we met – and even
exceeded – our $3 million pledge to
help fund the equipment physicians
and staff need to help everyone who
turns to Osler for care,” says Sharron.
“I’ll be happy with that.”

everyone to get involved so that we can
bring leading-edge health care to this area.
I want to be a part of that.”
