Oakville (Ontario), Sep 5 (IBNS): The 5th Annual Oakville Diwali Gala in support of Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital (OTMH) is scheduled for Friday, September 14, 2018 at Lakeshore Convention Centre.
“The 2018 fundraiser will directly benefit the expansion of the surgical unit, putting essential equipment in the hands of OTMH caregivers,” said Mary McPherson, CEO of Oakville Hospital Foundation.

It is the Foundation’s largest campaign since the Hospital opened in 2015. The campaign will fund 77 pieces of surgical equipment and outfit a tenth operating room set to open this year,” said McPherson.
