he Victoria Hospital Foundation (VHF) is excited to announce a major gift of $25,000 from Paper Excellence Canada, the corporation that owns the Prince Albert pulp mill.

The corporate gift was initiated by local employees at both the Prince Albert mill and Meadow Lake Mechanical Pulp who felt passionate about participating in the Foundation’s campaign for a new NICU.

In September 2018, the Victoria Hospital Foundation launched a$2.2 million campaign to expand the space of the Victoria hospital’s NICU from 357 square feet to 4,000.

Their fundraising goal was reached in only 6 short months thanks to the commitment of surrounding communities and a lead gift from doctors Tilak and Lalita Malhotra.
