"The blue jay carries the spirit of loved ones and its colour echoes the beautiful blue of RVH. The brightness of the blue jay lights up this art piece just as the support of the community lights up RVH"💙✨ ~ 2025 Tree of Lights Artist, Kamryn Vaillancourt

This holiday season, you can honour or remember someone special by dedicating a Light of Love. Each tribute is displayed on an ornament and placed on the Tree of Lights.

Funds raised during our 35th Tree of Lights campaign will be directed towards the purchase of essential capital medical equipment at the Renfrew Victoria Hospital.

Help us brighten the tree.........https://bit.ly/4nUhtJt

On November 5, 2025 a celebration was held to honor and welcome the 2025 Frances Wilson Bursary recipients.

Frances Wilson, a former surgical nurse at the Renfrew Victoria Hospital and member of the Renfrew Victoria Hospital Auxiliary left a generous gift in will to the RVH Auxiliary and had the vision that the donation be used to empower nurses to grow and thrive in their profession. 💙

The FRANCES WILSON BURSARY was initiated in 2022.

Submissions are put in annually by RNs or RPNs to the Nursing Funds Implementation Committee, made up of frontline nurses and managers to oversee the allocation and review applications. The bursary funds can be accessed to allow attendance to conferences, to cover costs for nursing programs (Practical Nursing, RPN-to BScN bridging, Masters of Nursing), specialized certifications, advanced courses
and for professional development.

Since it’s inception in 2022, the Frances Wilson Bursary has issued bursaries for 16 nurses totalling $40,818. For the 2025-2026 year, the bursary has handed out its largest allocation yet, providing $33,000 to 10 recipients.

This continued investment demonstrates a strong commitment to education and professional growth within RVH.

Frances’ gift of $209,000 will continue to have an impact at RVH and will be felt in every patient cared for and every life touched through the knowledge these nurses gain.

Frances’ gift is more than just a donation, it is a legacy of hope!
