RBC Financial Group’s investment of
$75,000 in the Ukrainian Canadian Care Centre (UCCC) has moved the Home With
A Heart Campaign one step closer to its capital campaign goal of $9
million. This donation is in support of the new secure unit specifically
designed for residents with behavioural management challenges such as dementia
and Alzheimer’s, recently named the Michael and Sophia Witer Special Care
Unit. RBC’s generous donation to the Home
With a Heart Campaign, raises the campaign total to $8.6 million. The first residents in the newly completed
Michael and Sophia Witer Special Care Unit were able to move in on December 22,
2008 addressing a very large need in providing care for this population. The
RBC Executives and the Ukrainian Canadian Care Centre Senior Management and
Board gathered at the RBC Bloor West Village Branch (at Windermere) on June 24,
2009 for the cheque presentation.
Participants included
Bill Clementi – RBC Financial Group executive, Sandy Lomaszewycz – UCCC
Executive Director and Alex Daschko, UCCC President, Board of Directors.
