A breakfast fundraiser has raised over $10,000 for the Bruce Peninsula Hospitals Foundation.
Executive Director for the Foundation April Patry says the event on Sept. 16 at the Wiarton Curling Club was a success and well attended.
“This was our second annual Hospital Harvest Breakfast. It was something we had in the works for a number of years, but a little thing called Covid got in our way for a couple of years. We got our first one going last year, which was a terrific success. We were happy to bring it back this year,” says Patry.
Calling the event the biggest little breakfast in the north, Patry says it was held in conjunction with the Wiarton Agricultural Society’s fall fair.
She says this year they served 310 breakfasts while attendees where serenaded by country classics by local band, Blue Sky Day.
The MP and MPP for Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound — Alex Ruff and Rick Byers — were both in attendance to serve breakfast.
Patry says the funds raised will go to support projects at both the Wiarton and Lion’s Head Hospitals.
“We have a nurse call system at the Lion’s Head Hospital, which needs an upgrade, and here at the Wiarton Hospital we have a nursing station in the emerge department that is being renovated,” says Patry.
She says they will be back again next year to host another breakfast.
