A group of local builders, known as the Aurora 2C Landowners Group, will donate $750,000 over four years to help fund Southlake Regional Health Centre.

The pledge is part of a bold new funding program, with a portion of the money being allocated to Southlake’s Images for Life campaign and other future funds going toward priority needs of the health care facility.

Don Given, president of Malone Given Parsons Ltd. and representative of Aurora 2C, says the financial commitment from builders has already begun to make a difference.

“They’re doing it to show their responsibility for things that are needed in the community. Some funding has already been given and you can see that some of the different units are already being used in the hospital.”

The municipality has been supportive throughout the entire process, Given said, adding the group thanks the town for its hard work and support.

The Aurora 2C Landowners Group is comprised of TACC Developments Inc., including: Arista Homes, Fieldgate Homes, Opus Homes, Paradise Homes, Mattamy Homes, Brookfield Homes, Lindvest/Aurora Glen, Meadows of Metrus Developments, CountryWide Homes, Greenpark Group of Companies, Royalcliff Homes and Treasure Hill Homes.

Mayor Geoff Dawe, who was instrumental in organizing the donation, spoke as the special guest of honour during Monday’s announcement.

Dr. Dave Williams and Neila Poscente accepted the group’s cheque on behalf of the Southlake Regional Hospital Foundation.
