About

The Auxiliary to Saanich Peninsula Hospital has been actively serving this hospital and this community since its inception in 1974. We raise funds that contribute towards hospital equipment and furnishings, and to patient and resident care and comfort.

The current membership of dedicated volunteers supports a variety of fundraising activities including an annual Christmas Bazaar, annual Garage Sale, bake sales, and the operation of the Hospital Gift Shop. The Auxiliary has been going strong and in June 2019, we exceeded our 45th Anniversary goal of raising 2 Million dollars since our inception

As of June 2025, we have contributed a total of $2,460,102.58 for Hospital equipment and furnishings for patients’ care and comfort.

This outstanding achievement represents hard work, enthusiasm and dedication from our members, who are widely recognized throughout the community by serving in the Gift Shop.

In addition to fundraising, we provide additional services services within the Hospital: monthly birthday parties for Extended Care Unit residents, personal care kits to emergency patients who are unexpectedly admitted for overnight stays, and two annual bursaries of $2,500 each to post-secondary students entering medically related fields.

Monthly meetings are held on the second Tuesday of the month from September to June, and new members are always welcome! Contact the Hospital Gift Shop for more information.
