The E.P. `Soapy' Soanes award was established in recognition of the first Chief of Staff, and longstanding member of the Department of Family Medicine at OakvilleTrafalgar Memorial Hospital.

Dr. McCulloch is known for his sense of humour, his gentleness and his generosity of time with his patients. Even now that he is retired, Dr. McCulloch's love for medicine continues.
