*****CONGRATULATIONS !
To the Hotel Dieu Shaver Rehab Auxiliary who celebrated their 100th birthday with an Open House to all staff on December 10, 2008.
On September 12th, 2008 there was a gala English Garden Party in a tent on the hospital grounds.
It is interesting to note that the Auxiliary is one year older than the hospital because the first hospital was for tuberculosis but was not built yet. The patients were in a house and needed fruit and vegetables. The women of St. Catharines joined together to become an Auxiliary and went to farmers for the food. The following year (1909) the hospital was built. So began the hospital for tuberculosis.
For many years they were the Shaver Hospital Auxiliary. Since Hotel Dieu took over 3 years ago this past August, they are now the Hotel Dieu Shaver Rehab Auxiliary.
