This holiday season, our community has been touched by an extraordinary act of generosity. Gord and Diane Peters, longtime Westman residents and champions of local initiatives, have donated $1 million to support the new Critical Care Centre at the Brandon Regional Health Centre (BRHC).

Their gift contributes to the BRHC Foundation’s A Foundation for Care campaign, which is raising funds for the construction and equipment needs of this state-of-the-art facility. Once complete, the new Centre will expand capacity and enhance critical care services for patients and families across Westman.

Reflecting on their decision, Gord and Diane shared

“We are pleased to support the BRHC Foundation in their ongoing work with the BRHC. The new Critical Care Center is a much-needed addition to our hospital’s ongoing development. Our medical facility in Brandon is critical in servicing the needs of our Westman community, keeping it strong and vibrant.”

The BRHC Foundation expressed heartfelt gratitude for this transformational gift.

This incredibly generous donation from Gord and Diane feels like an early Christmas gift for our entire community,” said Stacy Senkbeil, BRHC Foundation Board Chair. “Their kindness embodies the spirit of the holiday season and will have a lasting impact on patient care across Westman.”

At the Brandon Area Community Foundation, we celebrate the Peters’ generosity and the lasting impact it will have on health care in our region. Their gift is a powerful reminder of how philanthropy strengthens our community and ensures care for generations to come.
