It’s another year of fundraising for the North Hastings Hospital Auxiliary as they kick off their annual Round-up Charity this week.
Janice MacKenzie with the Auxillary says this year they plan to purchase a stretcher for the trauma unit, an i-STAT machine which will help with blood analysis, and an Electrocardiogram or ECG machine. They are attempting to raise $45,000 in total.
Like other years, those who shop at the No Frills on Hastings Street North will have the option to round up their bill, with the difference going towards the auxiliary. However unlike previous years, Mackenzie says they can’t do barbeque due to the pandemic.

The world around us is territory of migrations. It is free for the animals and winds, for the tides and stars and for water and fire. For us, inserted in a culture, home is where our culture can be and flourish. But culture looks like a patchwork rather than a smooth ride. It is dynamic. It gathers from other people and other cultures. We lose perspective of how much this is so… What is Jewish food had been Polish food, and German and Russian food. Moroccan and Libyan, expressed in Yiddish or Ladino. Even though, identity seem to be always a construction against the other. We exacerbate the differences. Differences are, in the end, what make us, us and not them.
