$500,000 Donation to the Our Hearts at Home Cardiovascular Campaign
In 2019, the John Andrews Foundation announced a $500,000 donation to Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Foundation to bring cardiovascular surgery to Northwestern Ontario. “We want to ensure that, should people need surgery, they can have it here at home,” said Allan McKitrick, Chair, John Andrews Foundation.

In 2017, Thunder Bay Counselling received $20,000 to improve access to mental health counselling for low-income individuals and families in Thunder Bay. “This new project will have a lasting impact on how people access mental health services locally and ensure they receive what they need when they need it most,” said Nancy Chamberlain, Executive Director at Thunder Bay Counselling.
