Who says we can’t golf during a pandemic? The need for strong local healthcare is as critical as ever and we are thrilled to announce the annual ELGC fundraising golf tournament is going ahead this year – with a twist!
When you register and golf between July 1 and September 1, 2020 (maximum 144 golfers) at Emma Lake Golf Course, you will be able to participate in raising money for the residents in Long Term Care at Herb Bassett Home and Pineview Terrace. Funds raised from this event help to keep our new resident van on the road!
Proudly presented by Schaan Home Healthcare and Emma Lake Golf Course, the 9th Annual ELGC Vic Hospital Foundation Charity Classic is $150 per golfer or $600 for a team of four. Your registration fee includes:
It’s Simple!
We hope you will join us at the lake this summer and golf to support our residents in Long Term Care. Thank you to Emma Lake Golf Course and Schaan Home Healthcare for making this event possible.
In light of the March 13th communication from the Saskatchewan Health Authority and Chief Medical Health Officer restricting gatherings of over 250 people, we have no choice but to postpone our Doctor’s Gala scheduled for April 18th. The new date is to be determined based upon the recommendations of the SHA and Public Health.
The health and safety of our guests is paramount, and given that this gala is meant to celebrate our medical professionals, we feel it is our duty to protect our physicians and guests by strictly following the protocol as outlined by our chief medical officer. We wish to do our part to limit the spread of COVID-19 in our community.
We will be reaching out personally to each ticket purchaser, vendor, and sponsor in the coming days.

We are thrilled to hear from the Premier today, the exciting announcement of a new Victoria hospital in Prince Albert.
Our Foundation has enjoyed the trust of our community for the last 35 years. Since 1985, the Victoria Hospital Foundation has had no other mission but to fundraise and invest millions into local healthcare for the benefit of patients and families here at home.
Our Foundation has been expecting this announcement and as a result, we’ve been preparing internally for a major campaign. We recognize that a new healthcare facility will require a significant community contribution toward equipment and our Foundation is set to lead the effort. In that spirit, we’d like to announce a kick-off donation from our board and staff in the amount of $100,000.
In the meantime, we encourage our community to start thinking about how they would like to support and shape their new hospital and be part of a lasting legacy for their children and grandchildren. Soon, it will be time to truly “Help the Vic.”
Thank you to Premier Scott Moe and the Ministry of Health for recognizing and addressing the needs of our northern communities. It is a great day for healthcare in the north.
“With excitement and renewed hope, our Foundation looks forward to working with all of our donors, surrounding communities, the Ministry of Health, and the Health Authority to achieve what will be a significant leap for northern healthcare.”
Sherry Buckler, CEO, Victoria Hospital Foundation
“The Victoria Hospital Foundation is poised to lead a new hospital fundraising campaign with passion and confidence. Thank you to the Premier and the Health Ministry for this outstanding news which will result in expanded health care services across Northern Saskatchewan.”

The Victoria Hospital Foundation is excited to announce a special donation to the kids at the Victoria Hospital in Prince Albert! The Car Guys at Mann Northway GMC unveiled two brand new mini battery operated trucks dedicated to the pediatric patients of the hospital.
The Victoria Hospital sees hundreds of children each year, through our pediatric, day surgery and mental health/family treatment units. The little trucks will provide our children with an opportunity to ‘drive’ to the operating room, play with them outside in the playground or enjoy a much-needed distraction while in the hospital receiving care and treatment. Enhancing the often-sterile medical environment in which children receive treatment when visiting the hospital is critical to helping them be less afraid of doctors and procedures as they grow up.
"Going to the hospital can be a scary experience for most of us. And for children, first impressions are often lasting impressions. We are so appreciative to the Car Guys @ Mann Northway for this clever and heartwarming donation to the children at the Victoria Hospital."
Sherry Buckler, VHF CEO
“This is such a rewarding experience to be involved in for all. The Car Guys understand that families go through tough challenges everyday and are just trying to put a few smiles on some young faces!”

The Victoria Hospital Foundation and the Jim Pattison Broadcast Group are proud to announce that as of 6 pm, a final total of $303,105.27 was raised in only 12 hours in the main lobby of the Victoria Hospital in Prince Albert.
The donations will purchase a portable DR X-ray that can be taken to the patient’s bedside for faster diagnosis, telemetry units that monitor a patient’s heart during rehabilitation exercises, and echo ultrasound beds to assist sonographers to get the best picture of the heart. This equipment means better outcomes for cardiac patients both before and after heart surgery.
“Once again, our community told us how important their local hospital is to them. Their incredible generosity for cardiac diagnosis and rehabilitation equipment will now enable our Foundation to invest in the most critical equipment here at home and we are deeply grateful.” Sherry Buckler, CEO, VH Foundation
Our community’s most beloved event, the Give a Little Life Day campaign has raised over 7 million dollars for patients of the Victoria Hospital over the last 13 years.
