It was a special day for the Daughters of the Nile who attended the seven-Million Dollar Plaque presentation on October 16, 2024, at Shriners Hospital for Children® – Canada in Montréal. This plaque follows just 29 months after the unveiling of our six-Million Dollar Plaque.

Attendees experienced hospital tours, a patient story delivered by her mother, and an informative talk by Frank Rauch, MD, and Director of Biomedical Laboratories at the hospital. This was followed by a presentation to our Supreme Queen Jackie Holloway by Imperial Sir Jerry Gantt, Chairman Emeritus of the Board of Trustees and Gary McKeown, Chairman of the Board. The morning was capped off with a lovely reception.

The Canadian Foundation was honoured to speak on behalf of the ten (10) Canadian Temples and their Ladies of the Household. Without these Ladies and their commitment to our philanthropy, this remarkable milestone would not have occurred.

As your Canadian Member Trustee, I thank you for the trust you have placed in me, and I am so proud of each Canadian Temple and every Lady of the Household.

Laura Furnival, PQ – Elected Member Trustee
