On December 11, the Burnaby Community Based Organization, representing the Temple, made a donation to Burnaby Hospital and Community Foundation. Burnaby Hospital is currently undergoing major redevelopment, and its Jim Pattison Centre for surgical care is being expanded and upgraded at the same time. More modern operating rooms will be added, with phased openings expected to begin in 2026, bringing faster, more complete, and more comfortable medical care to the community.

During this period of hospital renewal and expansion, we hope to do our part—to walk alongside the community and send goodwill outward, so that more people may benefit. We also wish well-being to everyone giving so much of themselves within the hospital—the patients, their families, and the medical staff who work so hard to safeguard life.
