The official grand opening celebration featured a community breakfast, children's activities and musical performances while inviting residents to tour the facility at 3114 Dundas St. W., just west of Bronte Road. Officials said the centre will serve as a hub where people can meet in both structured and casual ways to engage in social, recreational, educational, artistic, cultural, and community building opportunities. St. Luke's is partnering with community groups, not-for-profits, government, and businesses to provide programs, services, and events for all ages, ethnicities, faiths, sexual orientations and abilities. It's received a three-year grant of $345,400 from the Ontario Trillium Foundation to bring that vision to life. see Welcoming on p.26 For Ontario: Improved wait times Investments in hospital operating costs across the province will lower wait times for surgeries like hip and knee replacements, and improve access to diagnostic testing like MRIs and CT scans.
