New board members for Campus

quality but there's inaction. I belong to a local chapter of CURC and we're quite concerned about climate action. We've done things like tree planting. I have twelve grandchildren and I just don't know what kind of world they'll have when they're my age. We need to move faster. Quit the talk. Everybody has to take action. We need a whole effort by the whole community and all levels of government.”

The Kemptville Campus had its AGM on June 21 and installed two new Board members, Ross Lincoln and Paul Calder.

This was the end of our first year with an arms-length Board and new staff in place. We were truly grateful for the work that the Board did this year, especially outgoing Chair Dermid O'Farrell and Treasurer Graham Pincott, and Katherine Parker, our resident human resources expert.

St. Paul’s raises over $5,000 for KDH CT scanner

submitted by Jim Armour

The congregation of St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church presented the Kemptville District Hospital with a cheque for $5,400 to go toward the purchase of a CT scanner.

The money was raised as part of the Church’s annual winter/spring mission project that focuses on causes important to the local community.

“Our original goal was to raise $2,500,” said Mission Committee Chair David Carmichael. “The fact that we more than doubled that speaks not only to the generosity of the congregation, but to the great need to have this sort of technology available in North Grenville.”

Currently, the Kemptville District Hospital only offers x-ray and ultrasound services. This means that patients requiring CT scans must travel to Ottawa, Brockville or Winchester.
