SLMHC Foundation
The Sioux Lookout Meno Ya Win Health Centre Foundation raises funds for healthcare needs for more
than 30,000 people living in Sioux Lookout, the surrounding communities and northern First Nations
served by the Sioux Lookout Meno Ya Win Health Centre.
The foundation was incorporated in 1994 and was originally known as the Sioux Lookout District Health
Foundation. The organization later changed its name to the Sioux Lookout Meno Ya Win Health Centre
Foundation to reflect the amalgamation of the two main Sioux Lookout District Health Centre sites, the
7th avenue site, formerly the Sioux Lookout Zone Hospital, and the 5th avenue site, formerly the Sioux
Lookout General Hospital.
Our purpose is to raise money to provide funding for medical equipment, education, special treatment
programs and building funds for the Sioux Lookout Meno Ya Win Health Centre.
Our motto, A Tradition of Caring…A Tradition of Sharing, defines us. It is what we do
everyday with the ongoing support of our generous donors.
Since our inception, and with our donors support, we have raised more than $5 million to enhance
health care in the north. Our greatest achievements include raising $2.5 million for the local share of
the new hospital project, more than $1.79 million with Wasaya Group Inc. for the CT Scanner Project,
and more than $400,000 to ensure year round mammography services at the Sioux Lookout Meno Ya
Win Health Centre.
The foundation is governed by a volunteer board of directors who oversee the foundation’s programs.

From local service groups and volunteers who organize fundraising
events, to corporate and individual donors who support them, our story
is always the same – “We could not do this without you!”
By working together we realize the greatest achievements in our efforts to raise funds for the Sioux
Lookout Meno Ya Win Health Centre. Events both large and small contribute to our goals and help us to
ensure healthier futures for our communities.
Through the continued support of donors, who believe in quality heath care, and the dedication of
volunteers, who host third party fundraising events, we are able to fund program, equipment and
education needs at the Sioux Lookout Meno Ya Win Health Centre.
Thank you for dreaming
big and for taking this journey with us.
Thank you for believing in quality
health care for our communities and enhancing services for the north. Thank you for your kind and

Wasaya Group Inc. CT Scanner Project
Aside from the building of the new facility, the CT Scanner Project was
by far the greatest fundraising effort to enhance health care in Sioux
Lookout. On November 3, 2011 major donors and key fundraisers
gathered to celebrate the completion of the project and the opening of
the CT Room at the Sioux Lookout Meno Ya Win Health Centre.
The CT Scanner Project was inspired by the late Grace Teskey, who spoke with Tom Kamenawatamin,
President & CEO of Wasaya Group Inc. and Stanley Sainnawap, First Nations Relations about her vision
of having a CT Scanner based in Sioux Lookout. She believed the availability of a CT Scanner locally
would help to save lives in the north. Wasaya Group Inc., Wasaya Airways, Wasaya WeeCheeWayWin
Inc. and the chiefs of the Wasaya communities agreed, and on April 3, 2007 pledged a combined total of
$505,000 to kick start the fundraising effort.
Wasaya Group Inc. became the champions of the CT Scanner Project, sharing Grace’s vision and carrying
her message to all communities, companies, organizations and individuals in Sioux Lookout, the
surrounding communities and northern First Nations served by the Sioux Lookout Meno Ya Win Health
Centre.
The campaign was a grand success with all communities served by the health centre contributing to the
project, either through individual donations or community pledges. In the last year of the campaign,
Sandy Lake First Nation committed $100,000 in large part to honour five community members who
fasted in 1988 to advocate for better health care in our communities, and Riley Barkman & Friends
raised more than $235,000 during a walkathon from Sachigo Lake First Nation to Sioux Lookout.
Never have we seen so many come together in support of a common goal. We have all been moved by
the journey to bring CT services to Sioux Lookout and to improve healthcare in the north; moved to act,
to participate, and to contribute to something greater than ourselves.
We are forever grateful for Grace Teskey’s vision, for Tom and Stan and the Wasaya companies and
communities for carrying Grace’s message, for all individuals, businesses, organizations and
communities who made kind and generous donations to the CT Scanner Project, and for Riley Barkman
& Friends for completing the journey and helping to make the vision of a CT Scanner in Sioux Lookout a
reality.

A Vision Becomes Reality
RILEY BARKMAN
- an exceptional young man who not only moved the people in his community
but whole communities in his path as he walked over 700 kilometers to fulfill a woman’s vision. Riley
created hope and inspiration by his passion to help. Riley’s “Helping to Make a Vision a Reality”
Walkathon fulfilled the late Grace Teskey’s vision of having a CT Scanner based in Sioux Lookout by
raising the remaining funds needed to purchase a CT Scanner for the Sioux Lookout Meno Ya Win Health
Centre.
Upon hearing Grace’s story and about the many people who died from illnesses where an early
detection might have saved their lives, Riley made the decision to help with the fundraising effort.
On March 28, 2011 Riley set out from Sachigo Lake First Nation for the more than 700km journey to
Sioux Lookout. Seventeen days later and with fellow walkers Andrew Kaminawash, Stanley Barkman,
Lawrence Morris and Matt O’Connell by his side, the team arrived at the Sioux Lookout Meno Ya Win
Health Centre having raised more than $235,000 for the CT Scanner Project.
We are forever grateful for Riley’s desire to make a difference. He inspired all of us to take part, to give,
and to dream. He connected all of us through his journey, bringing us together to make the vision of a
CT Scanner for the people of Sioux Lookout, the surrounding communities and northern First Nations a
reality.

Sioux Lookout Meno Ya Win Health Centre Foundation ANNUAL REPORT 2012
Canadian Cancer Society: Our Partner in Health Care
Prior to the opening of SLMHC’s Mammography Unit, women in our region only had access to breast
cancer screening for two weeks of the year when the breast screening van would make it’s annual visit
to Sioux Lookout. Many of our northern communities would have to charter planes to fly women to
Sioux Lookout during this two week window. If there was inclement weather the planes would not fly
and the opportunity for screening would be lost until the following year. Also if at a screening an
irregularity was found, women would have to return to their home communities, only to be flown out
months later for an assessment in distant centers such as Winnipeg or Thunder Bay. Under screening,
wait times and travel burdens put our women at risk, and there was no denying that we were at a
disadvantage when it came to the fight against breast cancer.
The Canadian Cancer Society shared our desire to see better access to screening in the north, and on
April 1st, 2011 Martin Kabat, CEO, Canadian Cancer Society, Ontario Division presented the Foundation
with a $100,000 gift to assist with the purchase of the unit.
This very generous gift has helped to improve health services to women of First Nation communities and
the Sioux Lookout area, and continues to save lives in the north through the early detection of breast
cancer. The mammography unit at SLMHC is now open year round and provides timely diagnosis,
treatment and improved prognosis for our patients.
Relay For Life Partnership Announced
The Foundation has teamed up with the Canadian Cancer
Society and SLMHC in the fight against cancer by
partnering together for Relay For Life in Sioux Lookout.
Relay For Life is a 12 hour overnight event, where teams walk in
support of making cancer history. Team members collect
pledges and host fundraising events in support of the effort. It
is an opportunity to get together with family and friends and
celebrate cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost to cancer,
and fight back in the hope of finding a cure.
The partnership with the Canadian Cancer Society is an exciting
opportunity. Funds raised at Relay For Life support Canadian
Cancer Society research and community services and help fund
cancer care programs at the Sioux Lookout Meno Ya Win Health
Centre.
With Relay For Life supporting programs at SLMHC we will be
able to accomplish so much more in the fight against cancer
right here at home.
Together we can celebrate, remember, and fight back!

The Old General Comes Down
In June 2011 SLMHC’s 5th Avenue site came down.
Throughout the summer Bricks from what was
once known as Sioux Lookout’s General Hospital
were sold for $20.00 each to help rasie funds for
the foundation. It was an opportunity
to purchase a piece of the past and help invest in
our future.

Bearskin Airlines Skip to Equip Classic
Modeled after the highly successful Hope Classic in Thunder Bay, the 1st Annual Bearskin Airlines Skip to
Equip Curling Classic in Sioux Lookout raised $58,000 in support of the mammography unit at SLMHC.
Twenty six teams including those from Sioux Lookout, Dryden, Red Lake and Thunder Bay participated in
the three day event that took place November 11th - 13th, 2011 at the Sioux Lookout Golf and Curling
Club, where women of all curling levels enjoyed a weekend of great fun and raising funds in support of
SLMHC’s mammography program.
The foundation thanks all donors, participants, volunteers, and sponsors who generously supported the
fundraising effort, along with co-chairs Muriel Anderson and Kelli-Dawn Baker and their dedicated
committee, who ensured the success of the event. It is sure to become a much anticipated event and an
annual tradition.

Programs Fund, to assist with programming and services

Tree of Hearts Campaign
Annual Tree of Hearts Campaign - a way to honour and remember loved ones while contributing to the
enhancement of healthcare for our communities.
In 2012 the foundation celebrated its 15th year of raising funds for equipment needs at the Sioux
Lookout Meno Ya Win Health Centre as part of the Tree of Hearts Campaign. Lights sold for $10.00
each, and during the week of February 14th, trees, sponsored by SLMHC and the Municipality of Sioux
Lookout, were lit at the Sioux Lookout Meno Ya Win Health Centre, the William A. “Bill” George
Extended Care, and at the Sioux Lookout Library to honour and remember loved ones.
Proceeds totaling $4,120.00 from the 2012 campaign will be used to kick-start the fundraising effort to
raise an estimated $300,000 required for an additional ultrasound machine for SLMHC’s Diagnostic
Imaging Department.
The additional ultrasound machine will support SLMHC’s prenatal services, enhance the mammography
program and allow SLMHC to expand its cardiac imaging.
Thank you to everyone who purchased lights in memory of or in honour of someone special to you.
Thank you also to Bloomin’ Wild Flowers, Buck Buster Video, The Bootlegger, Cheers!, Chicken Chef,
Eastside Convenience, and Mascotto’s Marine for helping to sell the lights and for bringing greater
awareness to our campaign and ongoing equipment needs at SLMHC.

A Look Ahead
Help us continue to help the Sioux Lookout Meno Ya Win Health Centre – The
following funds have been established to help us meet ongoing needs at SLMHC.
Diagnostic Imaging (DI) Fund - No longer do we have to travel to distant centers for many of our
diagnostic imaging services. Care, closer to home, surrounded by friends and family, is now a reality for
patients at SLMHC thanks to your continued support and donations to the Diagnostic Imaging Fund. We
are currently raising funds for the purchase of an additional ultrasound machine estimated at $300,000
to allow SLMHC to enhance its cardiac imaging.
Women’s Health Fund –The health care needs of our mothers, daughters, sisters and aunts, in our many
remote and isolated communities are now being met with services offered right here at home. With
your generous support we have raised more than $400,000 to assist with providing year round
mammography services at SLMHC, and we continue to raise funds in support of programs, services and
equipment needs to enhance healthcare for women in our region. Help provide education and
prevention, reduce wait times and travel burdens for patients, and ultimately saves lives in the north
with a gift to the Women’s Health Fund.
Chemotherapy Services – Care and treatment at SLMHC surrounded by loved ones and friends can
make all the difference in recovery. Your donation helps so many who are on their journey back to a
healthy fulfilling life.
Palliative Care Fund – Help to enhance end of life care with a contribution to the Palliative Care Fund.
Your donation assists in our efforts to support families and to maximize quality of life for our patients.
Extended Care Fund –Your gift helps to fund program and equipment needs at the William A. Bill
George Extended Care Facility, a 20 bed care facility. Funds raised also support future requirements for
additional beds to meet the needs of our elders.
General Equipment Fund – Your donation to the General Equipment Fund assists with the purchase of
ongoing equipment needs at the Sioux Lookout Meno Ya Win Health Centre. Your ongoing support
ensures that our state-of-the-art facility continues to provide world –class emergency and primary
health care services to more than 30,000 people living in Sioux Lookout, the surrounding communities
and northern First Nations we serve.
CCAS Youth Programs Fund – Contributions to Community Counseling and Addiction Services Youth
Programs Fund helps to support programming needs for youth undergoing treatment for addiction and
supports them through their recovery. Invest in our youth to ensure a healthier future for our
communities.
Janelle Wesley Fund – Your contributions help us fund programming needs, and equipment and
furnishings for the Janelle Wesley Room, a gathering place for children and families, named in memory
of Janelle Miranda Wesley who lost her battle to cancer at the age of seven.
