Man Gives $8000 to Hospital

Carleton Place resident Orm Giles donates $8000 to the Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital (CPDMH) as a gift for his 80th birthday celebration. Giles stated that he figured it would be nice to give the hospital $100 for every year of his life. Moreover, he said that the donation is his form of thanks to the hospital for providing great care for him and his family throughout the years – especially to his wife who passed away last 2006.

Giles hopes that his $8000 would help jumpstart the hospital’s fundraising campaign. He hopes that the hospital would receive its necessary approvals from the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care so that it could soon move forward.

Giles was once Carleton Place’s deputy mayor. He was a town council member for 32 years. Furthermore, Giles has been a St. John’s lodge member since 1963, and has also spent 31 years as a Shriner. He has lived in Carleton Place most of his life where he was born. He and his wife were able to raise two children together, Stephen and Sylvia. Stephen now lives in Ottawa and works for the Federal Government. Sylvia, on the other hand, is married to Chris Jones: Massage Therapy Clinic operator. The couple resides in Carleton Place.
