Northern Saskatchewan’s Lifeline

message from campaign chair:

“The Vic is the heart of our community - the place where we turn in times of crisis, and in times of joy. For too long, it has gone without the upgrades it needs. This campaign is our chance to ensure that every person in our region receives the care they deserve. It’s more than a hospital. It’s about pride, dignity, and making sure the best healthcare professionals want to live and work right here in northern Saskatchewan.”

— Patricia Weir, Volunteer Chair, Equip the Vic Campaign
