facility that will offer a warm and friendly atmosphere, have the latest technology, offer new and expanded services and set a benchmark for health care services in a community hospital. With your help and support, we can build and equip a remarkable hospital that will respond to emergencies, mend broken bones, administer cancer care and promote all aspects of health in our local community. I have made a commitment to donate a portion of my commissions towards this incredible cause. For more information visit www.oakvillehospitalfoundation.com.

While there is nothing funny about blindness, FFB hopes laughter will help fund a cure. For more information visit www.comicvision.ca.

Other organizations I support include Appleby College and the Oakville Centre for the Performing Arts. Education, culture and the arts are also critical for the well-being of a community. I’m proud that my Dan Cooper Concert Series brings internationally acclaimed performers to our small corner of the globe.
