OAKVILLE HOSPITAL FOUNDATION Welcome to Oakville Diwali Casino Night! We are incredibly excited you will be joining us to celebrate Diwali, the festival of lights - all while helping to make great care possible.

The Oakville Hospital Foundation is honoured to partner with the Oakville Diwali Committee and our amazing sponsors to bring this fun and interactive virtual event to life. A huge thank you to these dedicated individuals and companies who have worked together to ensure Oakville Diwali reaches its fundraising goal.

evening is vital. Your donations and participation in our silent auction will go towards advancing OTMH’s surgical care program, which provides life-changing care to thousands of patients close to home. With your generosity, our compassionate and skilled team of physicians and nurses can continue to offer care, comfort, and hope to patients and their families.

Thank you so much for joining us on this virtual experience.

MESSAGE FROM THE

CHAIRS OF OAKVILLE DIWALI On behalf of the entire Oakville Diwali Committee, we’d like to take this opportunity to extend our warmest wishes to everyone celebrating Diwali here in Oakville and across the country.

Diwali, the Festival of Lights, has become an important annual celebration for all of us as it brings together family, friends and communities to enjoy the colours, warmth and vibrant culture. It is so exciting to see neighbourhoods across the city light up every year, as people from all backgrounds come together to share in the festivities and celebrate our country’s diversity. Although over the past couple of years our celebrations have looked a bit different than years past, the core message remains the same.

May knowledge conquer ignorance.

May light overshadow darkness.

May hope overcome despair, and May goodness prevail over evil.

On that note, we’d like to take this opportunity to thank all of you: our Sponsors, donors, supporters, volunteers, Physician’s, frontline staff, committee members, foundation staff and beyond for the light you bring to all our lives every single day. We are forever grateful to all of you for your continued and unwavering support and kindness.

Wishing all of you an abundance of good health, prosperity, and happiness for the year ahead.

A very Happy Diwali! Diwali ki Shubhkamnayein!
