The Ontario Mason: Masons Toronto SickKid's Hospital Donors of the Week Masons Toronto SickKid's Hospital Donors of the Week ================================================================================ Ray Daniels on 02 June, 2008 10:22:00 Perhaps you could use some of these photos taken during the presentation by R.W. Bro. Sam Kalinowski, President of the Masonic Foundation of Ontario at Sick Children's Hospital on Thursday, 3 April 2008 when the Masons of Ontario were honored as Donor of the Week by Sick Kids. You will note that I have copied this to Sam, should you require any further clarification or explanation. One or more of these might fill in the blanks on the e-zine. As ever, Cordially and fraternally, Ray Daniels Donors Of The Week The Masons of Ontario have been a part of SickKids since the early 1880’s, when John Ross Robertson visited the hospital not long after he had lost his daughter to scarlet fever. Robertson later became the first chairman of the hospital’s Board of Trustees, and the most celebrated member of the Masonic order in Canada. Since then, the Ontario Masons have continued John Ross Robertson’s legacy of improving the lives of children and families through its own commitments to SickKids Foundation. Most recently, the Masonic Foundation of Ontario made a visionary investment in the development of the SickKids Cochlear Implant Program, playing an integral role in establishing SickKids as the largest centre for paediatric cochlear implantation in North America and as an international leader in hearing research. Our warmest thanks to the Masons of Ontario for its continued dedication to SickKids. R.W. Bro. Sam Kalinowsky was honored at a Luncheon by The Hospital for Sick Kid's in honor of the donations and support supplied by the Masons of Ontario through the Masonic Foundation of Ontario of which Sam is the President.
