The years 1971 to 1973 were momentous ones. The interim board of the newly created Saanich Peninsula Hospital Society (with representation from Rest Haven Hospital Board), through monthly board and Committee meetings, carried out the extensive and intensive planning, organization and reorganization, reconciliation and compromise contingent upon government regulations codes and budgets compatible with community interests.
It is noteworthy that the Saanich Peninsula Auxiliary had already held its first regular meeting one month previous to the opening of the new Hospital on February 8, 1974. Of special interest, Mrs. Nell Horth, alternative member of the Capital Regional Hospital Board, and Mrs. Effie Evans, member of the Saanich Peninsula Hospital Interim Board, were very active participants in the developmental phases mentioned. Both ‘survived’ this experience to become founders of the Auxiliary.
