Temporary changes in service at WDMH . . .

Hospital taking CT scanner delivery . . .

Location of mobile CT Scanner in WDMH's rear parking lot . . .

Friday, Apr. 25th - Several years ago, Dale and Lois Keyes made a very generous donation to the Winchester District Memorial Hospital Foundation so the hospital's CT scanner could be upgraded. The new CT scanner will soon be installed, and that project will require several weeks to complete.

During May and into June 2025 there will be changes to the CT service as the hospital will operate a mobile CT scanner while the new, permanent installation is being completed.

On Friday, May 2nd, the mobile unit will be delivered to WDMH, where it will be temporarily staged in the rear parking lot, requiring that a portion of the parking is required to accommodate the unit. Starting Friday, May 16th thru Monday, Jun. 16th, the hospital will use the mobile CT unit to operate on the same schedule as the current service. Limitations of this mobile unit may necessitate that it may be necessary to send some patients to other hospitals during this time frame.

“The process of acquiring a replacement CT scanner has been lengthy,” posted out Janie Desroches, Vice President of Clinical Services, adding, “However, we are very excited to be able to upgrade this crucial piece of equipment and continue to provide excellent patient care to our community.”

Visiting for a look-see is free . . .

The view alone is worth the investment . . .

In the past few days the Viking Octantis sailed past our area on its way to the Great Lakes

and her tourist season waters. She will be back in the fall, leaving her summer

touring routes for the winter and heading south to warmer climates.

Viewing this beautiful ship passing one ponders it is no surprise

real estate along our South Dundas waterfront demands such

substantial an investment? Or is it any wonder that real estate along our

waterfront holds its value no matter the market fluctuations? Check the current

listings in South Dundas. Keeping in mind, our two waterfront communities boast huge

tracts of manicured parkland, welcoming public use, all stretching along the St. Lawrence River.

Commercial establishments to investigate, live theatre, flavors for all tastes, and the St. Lawrence Parks.

mile Cookie Week for Dundas Manor . . .

Thursday, Apr. 24th - Smile Cookie Week is back for the WDMH Foundation! So is the support of Brandon and Sarah Myers, owners of Winchester's Tim Hortons.

During the week Monday, Apr. 28th thru Sunday, May 4th, 100 per cent of the proceeds of Tim's Smile Cookies will be donated to the WDMH Foundation.

Funds this year will support the purchase of equipment for the Spa Rooms at the new Dundas Manor, like the mobile hygiene chair, used to safely transfer and lift residents in and out of the tub or shower. These chairs are also ergonomic and adjustable to ensure staff are safe too.

The Ministry standard is two baths each week for every resident – which means over 7,000 baths per year, or 20 per day, with the current reduced number of residents. And that will double in the new home!

Staff and volunteers from the WDMH Foundation and Dundas Manor will assist in the decorating of cookies as a way of thanking the local Tim Hortons teams and community for their support. Since 2011, our local Tim Hortons locations have raised over $160,000 to support local health care at Winchester District Memorial Hospital and Dundas Manor!

There’s no better way to treat family, friends, and co-workers, Monday, Apr. 28th thru Sunday, May 4th, while also making a difference in your local community!

Cookies can be pre-ordered by the dozen, at a pick-up time and location preferred, by either completing the Smile Cookie Bulk Order Form (available on our website at www.wdmhfoundation.ca or by contacting Justine Plummer, Manager of Direct Mail & Events at JPlummer@wdmh.on.ca or 613-774-2422 x6172.

Help us bring smiles to the face of our current and future residents of Dundas Manor – one cookie at a time!

Mayor Broad's South Dundas team keeps rackin' up points . . .

Yet another commercial investment . . .

Monday, Apr. 21st - Construction is going ahead in South Dundas' Morrisburg Industrial Park on David Hendrick's new Canadian corporation Alinova, a joint venture of leaders in the global soy industry. Hendrick, who resides in neighbouring Inkerman, ON, said the Allison Avenue location in Morrisburg was ideal. The corporation intends to combine knowledge and investment from both Canada and Japan in developing the new soy powder. The two partner shareholders, DJHII and Marusan Ai, are established and respected in their expertise.

Processing soy in Canada adds value to Canada's soy crop, currently exported for processing internationally. Building on Japan’s already considerable soy market, this effort will not only help Canada capture new economic opportunity, it will also strengthen Canada's global presence in international markets.

All from right here in South Dundas!

Hendrick said the facility will demand as many as 20-employment positions to the local economy once the operation is running at planned capacity.

Recent investments in South Dundas include two large residential investments in Iroquois and Morrisburg in addition to a growing number of commercial and industrial community partners, a noticeable compliment to both the efforts of South Dundas' municipal staff and the elected council team.
