LOCAL HOSPICE EFFORTS RECOGNIZED
March 9, 2016QUEEN’S PARK – Nipissing MPP Vic Fedeli congratulated community members for their efforts in support of the Nipissing Serenity Hospice in a Members’ Statement in the Ontario Legislature this afternoon. Text of Fedeli’s statement is below:
Thank you very much, Speaker. This Friday, I’m looking forward to attending an official campaign launch that is being held for a very important project in my riding of Nipissing. Speaker, that is the Nipissing Serenity Hospice.
I want to congratulate all of the hard-working volunteers led by Mathilde Bazinet and Jim Marmino in moving this much-needed initiative forward.
The construction of our residential hospice will create 50 jobs during construction, 15 Full-time & 10 part-time jobs when operational.
Support for these hospices right across the province is vital.
The community had put forth petitions, which I supported by reading them into the record in this Legislature. And now, the official fundraising starts. Speaker, it’s a long road, but nowhere near as difficult a path as those who need this hospice will face.
Hospices provide a much-needed place dedicated to providing quality end-of-life care and allowing people to die with dignity.
The Nipissing Serenity Hospice will be a much-valued addition to our community, and I thank you for allowing me this opportunity, Speaker.
