RIH Foundation’s Gallery of Gratitude
As the hospital undergoes renovations, the Royal Inland Hospital (RIH) Foundation has moved the recognition walls that express appreciation for the generous support provided by the donors over the years. The recognition walls previously located on the 2nd floor of the main building have been moved to make way for the expansion of the Teck Emergency Department. We invite you to visit our new Gallery of Gratitude located in the Kruger Unifor Atrium in the Phil & Jennie Gaglardi Tower.
The Gallery of Gratitude is designed to highlight the commitment many thoughtful and generous donors have made to healthcare excellence at RIH.
This gallery is comprised of three recognition walls:
- Annual Giving Wall – featuring donors that have given $1,000 or more, community fundraisers and donations made in memory, in the last calendar year
- Wall of Honour – recognizing the generous contributions of individuals, businesses, organizations and community groups who have donated a total of $10,000 or more to the RIH Foundation in the last 10 years
- Celebrating Life Memorial Wall – a dedicated space for those who have given to honour loved ones passed
For more information about our Gallery of Gratitude, please contact the RIH Foundation office at 250-314-2325.
