North American value-added frozen seafood company High Liner Foods Incorporated has contributed to The Health Services Foundation of the South Shore with a donation of $250,000 in support of its Brighter Days Capital Campaign for the redevelopment of South Shore Regional Hospital in Nova Scotia, Canada.
The donation was made to hospital and Brighter Days senior volunteer leadership committee members during a cheque presentation held at the High Liner Foods Lunenburg Facility on 8 September 2024.
High Liner’s donation will be allocated to the hospital’s Dialysis Unit.
“The High Liner Foods business was born here in Nova Scotia over a century ago and we believe strongly in the importance of creating a positive impact in the communities in which we operate,” said Paul Jewer, President & CEO High Liner Foods. “The Regional Hospital plays a critical role in the lives of our community members, and we are proud to support the expansion and redevelopment of the South Shore Regional Hospital to continue to help families across the province.”
“At the conclusion of this campaign, funds raised and pledged by donors have surpassed the CAD 10.6 million mark, demonstrating the high priority that the community places on securing the latest in medical technology and equipment for the expansion and redevelopment of the South Shore Regional Hospital,” said David Himmelman, Co-Chair Brighter Days Capital Campaign.
The 48,705 square-foot expansion and redevelopment of the hospital is ongoing with the new Emergency Room expected to open in 2025.
