Saugeen Memorial Hospital Foundation is pleased to welcome SNC-Lavalin as the Platinum Level title sponsor of the 30k distance for the Gran Fondo Lake Huron.
“SNC-Lavalin’s business is all about providing great solutions to customers, so it is only natural that we support the Saugeen Memorial Hospital Foundation in providing great solutions like priority equipment to support health care professionals who serve this community,” said Sandy Taylor, President, Nuclear at SNC-Lavalin. “With cycling enthusiasts on staff, the inaugural Gran Fondo Lake Huron is of genuine interest. We can’t be any happier knowing the route will pass our new Port Elgin office as we cheer everyone on.”

“The rides are all named after sponsors,” exclaimed an excited Executive Director for the Hospital Foundation. Sally Kidson stated that having SNC-Lavalin recognize the value in sponsoring the 30k distance is extremely important. “When building a new event, every single step along the way matters” and having sponsors for all four distances builds credibility for the event. We expect that the SNC-Lavalin 30k will be extremely popular with recreational cyclists. The ride goes right past their Port Elgin office before heading out to the country roads.
The 2018 Gran Fondo Lake Huron is a new fundraising initiative for the Foundation and the goal is to raise $150,000 that day. Jim Barbour, Foundation Chair commented that the participation of SNC-Lavalin is very special. “We’re looking forward to watching their team in the event.”
