Audrey & Donald Campbell Foundation Pledges $5 Million to CGMH’s Tomorrow’s Hospital Campaign

The Collingwood General and Marine Hospital (CGMH) Foundation is proud to announce a transformational $5 million commitment from the Audrey & Donald Campbell Foundation in support of the Tomorrow’s Hospital Campaign. 

This landmark gift marks a major milestone in CGMH’s journey toward a new, state-of-the-art hospital facility for South Georgian Bay. Audrey and Don Campbell, who arrived in Collingwood in the 1960s, were high-school sweethearts who raised their family of five boys in the region. 

Don, a WWII Royal Canadian Air Force pilot and former Chairman of Maclean Hunter Ltd., and Audrey, his partner of 64 years, built a legacy of family, friendship, and philanthropy in South Georgian Bay through their love of skiing, tennis, bridge, and golf. 

Their legacy of giving lives on through the Audrey & Donald Campbell Foundation, which has made enduring contributions to the region, including the pivotal gift that established Campbell House through Hospice Georgian Triangle in 2014. 

This most recent gift will fund the Audrey & Donald Campbell Foundation Emergency Department in CGMH’s future facility.

 The vastly expanded Emergency Department will be built and equipped to care for more than 70,000 residents and over 3 million visitors annually. 

Audrey and Don’s sons are continuing their parents' legacy by providing this support. They are pleased to play a significant role in bringing to life the hospital that our community needs and deserves. 

The Tomorrow’s Hospital Campaign aims to raise over $100 million to bring this vision to life. To learn more about the campaign or to contribute, visit: TomorrowsHospital.com
