Ryan and Cindy Beedie have donated $5 million to Delta Hospital and Community Health Foundation (DHCH Foundation) in support of their ‘Coming Home’ campaign. This is the largest, single gift received toward DHCH Foundation’s $18.25 million campaign for a new long term care community at the Delta Hospital Campus of Care.

In recognition of this transformational gift, the new 200 bed facility will be named Beedie Long Term Care Centre.

Beedie is one of the largest industrial and residential real estate companies in Western Canada with Ryan Beedie as president and Cindy Beedie as executive director of the Beedie Foundation.

“For Cindy and I, helping communities here in Canada and around the world has always been a part of our lives. We truly believe that giving back and sharing our success with others is a key part of being thoughtful and caring world citizens. We’ve partnered with Delta Hospital and Community Foundation on this critical Long Term Care project to help support local seniors who really made this area what it has become today. We’ve had the pleasure of building in Delta for over 50 years, and our family is proud to be able to give back to a community that’s so important to us,” said Ryan.

Owned and operated by Fraser Health Authority, this new long term care community will replace the 92 beds at Delta Hospital’s current facility, Mountain View Manor. It will include social and recreational spaces found in a typical home, such as a living room, dining room, activity space and access to the outdoors.

In addition, the project will add a 32-space adult day program. An innovative, stand-alone 49-space child daycare facility will also be constructed and create opportunities for intergenerational programming with long term care residents.
