Thank you to PetSmart Nanaimo for the donation of 500 stuffed toys for our Teddy Bear Drive again this year! The toys will provide comfort and a welcome distraction for children receiving medical care at NRGH. The stuffed toys can still be purchased at PetSmart in support of the Hospital Foundation and a portion of proceeds supports PetSmart Charities of Canada initiatives such as therapy dog programs!
