It is a wonderful tribute to the spirit that lives in our community,” said Ken Mayhew, President and CEO, William Osler Health System Foundation. “Building the new Peel Memorial takes a lot of community support and we are truly honored to partner with the Federation of Filipino Canadians of Brampton.”
