Snow, Lights & The Tree of Life – A Different, and Safe Winter Celebration for 2020

December 4, 2020 – Similar to many holiday celebrations in 2020, the large and exciting festivities of the Grace Hospital Foundation Winter Celebration had to be minimized this year in the interest of everyone’s health and safety.

However, the Tree of Life was still it on December 2 for all to see, as it shone brightly on the rooftop of the Grace. The lights on the Tree of Life are lit each year to celebrate and/or remember loved ones of donors of the annual Tree of Life Campaign.

The hospital front entrance was also festively decorated with fir trees and giant wreaths, generously sponsored by local businesses. This seasonal spirit was enjoyed by hospital patients and staff alike during the colder winter months, especially in the darker hours of the early morning and evening.

RE: Fireworks… We know that hundreds of families each year attend the Winter Celebration in anticipation of seeing the event fireworks. Although they are held outdoors, due to public health restrictions, the fireworks have been postponed until it is deemed that crowds can safely gather outdoors. Stay tuned to our website and social media for an announcement that a new date has been chosen to light up the skies over Sturgeon Creek!

One of the many exciting updates to the building last year was the relocation of the cafeteria from the lower level of the main hospital to the main lobby. Fittingly renamed Café Pearl, a brief history of the dedication of Honourable Pearl McGonigal, and her significance to the Grace now lights up the cafeteria wall as a beautiful reminder of what she means to this health care facility.

“The Hon. Pearl McGonigal has been a dedicated supporter of Grace Hospital for more than 50 years. She is a founding member of the Grace Hospital Foundation, and has served as its Chair for more than 20 years. She also served as the Chair of the Hospital’s Board of Management, and has spent much of her life championing the causes of patient care at this facility. No community supporter has done more to shape the Grace Hospital than she.

In acknowledgment of her lifetime of dedication, we have name this place Café Pearl, so that all who come here will know just how much she means to our beloved Grace.”
