The Gimli District Health Auxiliary is inviting community members to attend its Annual General Meeting on May 5, 2026, at 2:00 PM in the Gimli Hospital Conference Room. The meeting offers an opportunity for residents to learn more about the volunteer organization’s ongoing efforts to support local healthcare services at the Gimli Community Health Centre.
Founded on September 16, 1968, the organization has spent over 55 years working to improve the comfort and well-being of patients. With a team of more than 40 volunteers, the group focuses on closing funding gaps for equipment and services that standard budgets may not cover. Their efforts have proven significant, with the group donating more than $260,000 to programs such as palliative care, dialysis, chemotherapy, and emergency services since 2008.
The volunteer team raises these funds through several community initiatives, including managing the hospital gift shop, selling used books, and hosting 50/50 raffles. In 2024 alone, the auxiliary contributed over $17,000 toward a variety of local services, including mental health, diagnostics, and home care. In addition to their work inside the Gimli District Health Auxiliary, members also support local students by awarding two bursaries every year to graduates of Gimli High School who are pursuing health-related education.
Residents interested in learning more about the organization’s impact or future projects are encouraged to attend the meeting at the hospital, located at 120 6th Avenue in Gimli.
