Gardner with family members, including his children Will, Rachael, and Leah: "As Manitobans, we can make sure that the hospital is equipped to take care of our loved ones for many years to come." Officially, Father's Day took place earlier this month, but for William S. Gardner, K.C., every day is Father's Day-especially when he wears his HSC Foundation hat. 'HSC is in my DNA,' says Gardner, who has served on the Foundation Board since 2002, including a stint as Vice Chair. 'My dad and my grandfather cared deeply about health care, and so do I.' Dr. William Arthur Gardner (upper right), William Cooper Gardner, Q.C. (just below, in sunglasses), and William Sparling Gardner (below, in short-sleeved green shirt, around the age of 13): "They were both so instrumental in my life," says Gardner of his father and grandfather. Gardner's grandfather, Dr. William A. Gardner, was an orthopedic surgeon at the Winnipeg General Hospital which merged with other institutions to form HSC in 1973. Gardner's father, William C. Gardner, Q.C., served as the Founding Chair of the HSC Foundation. 'They were both so instrumental in my life,' says Gardner. 'I remember at the age of five going with my grandfather on house calls. And he used to tell me stories about his service as a surgeon on the western front in France in World War I.' Gardner's father saw action in the Second World War. After his ship was torpedoed and sunk in the Denmark Strait, he survived enemy fire and icy waters, staying afloat by clinging onto pieces of the wreckage. Many years later, he chaired the Winnipeg General Hospital Board before founding the HSC Foundation in 1976. Gardner: "HSC is in my DNA. My dad and my grandfather cared deeply about health care, and so do I." 'My dad and others realized that donors could step forward to keep the hospital moving forward,' says Gardner. 'That's even more true today. As Manitobans, we can make sure that the hospital is equipped to take care of our loved ones for many years to come.'

Hill-Murray School breaks ground on $5.5M student union
Hill-Murray School broke ground Monday on a new student union that will add more than 7,500 square feet of indoor and outdoor space to the Maplewood campus. The addition, expected to open by December, will grow the campus dining space, create more flexible collaborative learning spaces and make more room for after-school community and alumni events. The student union is the first capital project in the private, Catholic school's comprehensive campaign started in 2023 under President Melissa Dan, Foundation Board Chair OJ Rinehart and Board of Trustees Chair Bill Simpson. It features 4,225 square feet of indoor and 3,300 square feet of outdoor space and will include a new main entrance that connects the campus chapel, cafeteria and the Nicholas Center, which houses individualized counseling and tutoring services. The school still must raise around $463,000 to meet its $5.5 million goal planned for the student union, Dan said. The strategic plan calls for the school to raise $40 million in four areas over five years, with more than $7 million planned for capital improvements.
