Hydro campaign raises $20,000 in donations for Oakville’s hospital foundation

A campaign by Oakville Hydro has raised a total of $20,000 to be donated to the Oakville Hospital Foundation.

The hydro company thanked customers for participating in their “Small Change, Big Impact” paperless billing campaign, which made a donation to the hospital foundation for every customer who registered to receive their monthly hydro bill paperlessly.

The donation will go towards the purchase of essential diagnostic imaging equipment for the Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital.

“The work of the Oakville Hospital Foundation is critical to the community we live in and support. We’re extremely thankful to our customers for making such a valuable contribution through this paperless billing campaign,” said Scott Mudie, Chief Energy Transformation Officer at Oakville Hydro.

The hydro company currently delivers electricity to more than 76,000 individuals, families, and businesses throughout Oakville.

The foundation thanked Oakville Hydro for their support.

“Initiatives such as the Small Change, Big Impact campaign directly fund the hospital’s essential needs, as we continue to deliver exemplary patient care,” said Suzanne Hallsworth, Chief Development Officer of the Oakville Hospital Foundation, which provides medical care via the Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital at the corner of Third Line and William Halton Parkway.

The foundation says it expects an increased demand for quality medical care as the population of the town continues to grow.

Oakville Hydro’s paperless billing campaign began in March.
