Delta Hospital Auxiliary celebrated its volunteers and accomplishments last week at its annual Health Care Auxiliary Day event.
Friday, May 8 marked B.C.'s Health Care Auxiliary Day, which was enacted by the provincial government in 2002.
Delta Hospital Auxiliary volunteers gathered at the hospital to celebrate all the organization does.
MLA Vicki Huntington read out the official proclamation and thanked the volunteers.
MP Kerry-Lynne Findlay was also on hand for the event.
"We're all so very proud of you, so very proud of what you do and you do it in an exemplary way," Findlay told the crowd of volunteers, all sporting their trademark blue smocks.
Delta Hospital Auxiliary volunteers put in 100,000 hours annually.
Coun. Sylvia Bishop spoke on behalf of Mayor Lois Jackson and Delta council.
"You are making a significant difference to families in Delta," Bishop said. The Delta Hospital Auxiliary, which has been in existence for almost 50 years, raises money to purchase equipment as well as run programs aimed at enhancing patient comfort and care.
