On Monday July 19, Dufferin-Caledon MPP Sylvia Jones announced $89,400 in funding for the Bethell Hospice Foundation.
In front of the Bethell Hospice gazebo for the announcement, Jones was alongside Bethell Hospice Foundation Chair John Sanderson, Bethell Hospice Foundation Director Bob Fines, Bethell Hospice Executive Director Margaret Paan, Bethel Hospice Foundation Executive Director Jeannette Vanden Heuvel, and Volunteer Program LEAD Kat Powell.
“It’s nice to be sharing some good news,” said Jones. “During the pandemic, Bethell Hospice has been especially critical for families. It’s because of that, and because of the acknowledgement of our government that things have been challenging and different during the pandemic, that we, through the Ministry of Heritage, Sport, Tourism, and Culture, have a Community Resilience fund. Bethell Hospice rightfully and appropriately is one of the recipients of the grant.”
