Welcome

Niagara Health Foundation invites you to join our annual Celebration of Lights to celebrate recovery, support healing and honour someone special. When you make a donation to the Celebration of Lights, every dollar raised stays right here in Niagara and goes towards urgently needed equipment at our local hospitals.

When you make a gift of $50 or more, you can add the name of a loved one to a paper light bulb or our virtual tree to cheer them on in their recovery or to celebrate their memory.

Land Acknowledgement

We acknowledge the land on which we work is the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe peoples, many of whom continue to live and work here today.

This territory is covered by the Upper Canada Treaties and is within the land protected by the Dish with One Spoon Wampum Agreement.

Today this gathering place is home to many First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples and acknowledging reminds us that our great standard of living is directly related to the resources and friendship of Indigenous people.
