The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 12 Kenora has just written its latest chapter in a history rooted in philanthropy. This took the form of an extraordinary $100,000, presented July 4 from their lottery account in support of the Lake of the Woods District Hospital Foundation’s Beyond The Scan campaign to replace their CT Scanner, ensure an Advanced Mammography Unit and – priority number one – bring the region’s first-ever MRI machine to the local community.
On Wednesday May 14, 2025, Sheri Lang, RBC Community Manager, and RBC staff from Dryden and Kenora, visited the Lake of the Woods District Hospital Training Classroom. This wasn’t a training session, but a celebration — the RBC Foundation generously granted $10,000 to the Lake of the Woods District Hospital to purchase four new Intravenous training devices and a Pediatric MATT Auscultation Trainer.
The Lake of the Woods District Hospital Foundation is thrilled to announce the final total raised through the Beyond The Scan Capital Campaign: an incredible $9,522,151 — made possible by the community, for the community.
Lisa’s strength has sparked something incredible. Her workplace family at the Kenora Jail rallied around her, hosting a fundraiser and even shaving their heads in solidarity. With her trademark spirit and humility, Lisa has chosen to donate the $2,120 raised to Forms of Hope. The Forms of Hope is a special fund through the LWDH Foundation that provides support for local patients undergoing cancer treatment at LWDH.
