Saugeen Memorial Hospital Foundation Welcomes Acuren Nuclear as a Returning Silver Sponsor

Saugeen Memorial Hospital Foundation is pleased to announce that Acuren Nuclear Services (ANS) has once again joined the Gran Fondo Lake Huron team as a Silver Sponsor.

ANS has been providing Non-Destructive Examination (NDE) solutions and tooling innovations to support a long standing working relationship with Nuclear Power Stations in Canada including Bruce Power NPP and collaborations with fellow Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) companies.

Locally, Acuren Nuclear Services has had its HQ in Port Elgin since 2008.  “Healthy, vibrant and prospering communities are one of the foundations for successful businesses. Engagement with our neighbours, friends and colleagues through great events such as the Gran Fondo is important to our company and our employees” states Kevin Woit. “We believe that communities can only succeed by working together with local businesses and that’s what Acuren is committed to doing.”

Foundation Board Chair, Jim Barbour is glad to see organizations like Acuren returning to support this important Foundation Fundraiser once again. “We are very pleased that Acuren has returned as sponsor to the 2019 Gran Fondo Lake Huron. Their continued generous support of the work we do is very-much appreciated.”

Why Ride?

This year, funds raised through Gran Fondo Lake Huron will strengthen healthcare in our region by enhancing regional stroke care and supporting essential equipment upgrades at Brightshores Southampton Hospital. Every dollar raised helps ensure our healthcare teams have the tools they need to provide high-quality, lifesaving care to our community and visitors.

When a stroke occurs, every second counts. Access to advanced imaging technology and rapid intervention tools can mean the difference between recovery and lifelong disability. Saugeen Shores residents rely on our designated stroke center in Owen Sound for urgent stroke care. Funds raised will help equip the center with essential upgrades to improve diagnosis and treatment, ensuring faster, more effective care for patients throughout our region.

Funds raised will also help upgrade vital equipment at Brightshores Southampton Hospital, ensuring our healthcare teams can provide exceptional care close to home. This year’s funding will replace essential tools like crash carts, keeping staff prepared for urgent situations. Investing in modern equipment enhances patient care, improves efficiency, and supports our hospital in meeting the community’s growing healthcare needs.

Your participation in Gran Fondo Lake Huron directly strengthens local healthcare. Whether you ride, volunteer, or donate, you are helping provide the vital resources that keep our hospital at its best, ensuring lifesaving care for our community today and for generations to come.
