Delta Ag Donates $1M

Delta, May 2, 2024 — The Delta Agricultural Society has made an extraordinary $1 million donation to support Delta Hospital and Community Health Foundation’s (DHCH Foundation) $18.25 million ‘Coming Home’ Campaign for the new Beedie Long Term Care Centre to replace Mountain View Manor.

Since 1993, they have consistently supported DHCH Foundation by contributing funding to support capital projects and essential equipment needs. With this generous gift, they have now given over $3M to the Delta Hospital Campus of Care.

Founded in 1888 by a group of local farmers, the Delta Agricultural Society initially focused on improving farming practices, land cultivation, and livestock breeding in the Delta region. Over time, their commitment has expanded beyond agriculture, making them a significant benefactor for the broader Delta community. Their substantial financial contributions have positively impacted various community groups, facilities, and vital projects.

Lisa Hoglund, Executive Director of Delta Hospital and Community Health Foundation, expressed her gratitude: “We extend our heartfelt thanks to The Delta Agricultural Society for their exceptional leadership and unwavering generosity towards the new Long Term Care project. Their continued support plays a pivotal role in transforming seniors’ care within our community. We are truly humbled by their commitment to the Delta Hospital Campus of Care.”
