Haida Gwaii Hospital Day

Haida Gwaii Hospital Day This page is dedicated to Hospital Day, an annual one day event that occurs in Queen Charlotte every June.

Hospital Day is the oldest community holiday here on Haida Gwaii, in which residents come together to play games, enjoy one another's company and celebrate their unique Island lifestyle. A colorful parade starts the day off and is followed by ball games.

The Hospital Day Committee of the Haida Gwaii Hospital and Health Centre would like to thank the outgoing chair Dr Tamara Pacholuk for her dedication and leadership over the last two years.

Despite our annual Hospital Day celebration being canceled for 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the committee continued to provide the Margie Colcol Bursaries, long term care comfort funds and smaller donations to various groups. This year the Hospital Day Committee also funded more than $55,000 to purchase a much needed mobile X-ray machine for Physicians to make even quicker diagnosis.

Watch for details soon of the new Hospital Day Committee!

Please share widely to let Dr Pacholuk know how much her leadership skills were appreciated during unprecedented times! 😊

Just like it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a good board to keep Hospital Day going! Please contact me soon to volunteer for the best board ever. Still several positions left to fill on our declining board. 😊

The Hospital Day Board meets monthly for one hour over lunch for most of the year and then more often as we get closer to June and our annual Hospital Day.

More hands make less work and there’s plenty of fun and you have a voice in deciding on a theme and how we’ll decorate and you can have as much work or as little as you choose!

So make a difference today and join our team! Call me at 778-260-0224 or email me at [email protected]. I can’t wait to hear from you!! 😀
