Watch now.

After much discussion with Lakeridge Health Hospital leadership and our colleagues in infection prevention and control, we are postponing our upcoming NightShift event until Fall 2020.

Thank you for your understanding as we navigate and respond to various scenarios as the COVID-19 path reveals itself.

In the months ahead, we look forward to sharing more information on our upcoming NightShift challenge and how your support will continue to provide the very best health care, close to home.

Third-party events will be encouraged to post-pone their events and work with the Foundation to find alternative options and scenarios.
