WINDSOR, ONT. -- Hotel-Dieu Grace Healthcare and its foundation will be postponing all signature fundraising events for the remainder of the year due to COVID-19 concerns.

“From the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Hotel-Dieu Grace Healthcare has made every effort to ensure the safety and health of our patients, our staff, and our community. This commitment remains true as we look to the second half of 2020,” a news release from the organization stated.
