Wawa Family Health Team Dress Down Supports SAH Parking Tokens

Wawa Emergency Services Charity Hockey Game

Article by Barb Fisher. Photo supplied.   Our community is always ready to support a good cause and this past weekend doing one of the things we do best, the good old hockey game generated funds to help out the Lady Dunn Health Centre Oncology Unit. Players' names from our OPP detatchment, volunteer firefighters and paramedic services were drawn randomly to form the two teams and although their days of minor hockey are behind them, it goes to show that hockey skills learned early will follow you well throughout your lives. The guys and gals proved that what hockey parents sacrifice in raising future hockey stars is never wasted.   The spectator seats were well filled and with several fund raisers offered in door

prizes, a donated BBQ with filled propane tank, 50/50 draw and a silver collection admittance fee, approximately $1,700.00 was collected to help out the LDHC Oncology Unit. Again, I was proud to be part of such a giving community spirit. The super BBQ, donated by Wilderness Helicopters with a filled propane tank donated by Davidson Fuels was won by Jacob Gauthier, 50/50 winner in the amount of $128 was Heinz Fellinger and no doubt he is treating his "enthusiastic hockey family" to breakfast as we speak. The lucky winners of the several miscellaneous door prizes were: Ron Rody, Darcy Pilon, Genevieve Verreault, Megan Cavanagh, Melanie Rail and Amanda Gauthier.   Taking the risk of repeating myself, I am always amazed

EASTER HOURS

Algoma News & Printing will be closed on Good Friday, March 25th and will reopen on Mon., March 28th for the regular deadline. Have a good Easter Weekend!!

Like many businesses and organizations in our community, the Wawa Family Health Team staff pays a Toonie to dress down on Fridays. At the end of the year suggestions are made as to where to donate the money collected throughout the year, keeping in mind, we want to keep it local, or use to help our local citizens.   This year, a suggestion was made to purchase SAH parking tokens to hand out to our cancer patients that have to travel to Sault Ste. Marie for some of their care. Constant trips to SSM are costly enough, so in a small way to help, the WFHT will offer patients a parking token that will allow them to park for free.   Tokens can be received from the WFHT staff or from Louise Needham, the oncology nurse at the Lady Dunn Health Centre.
