It’s another great day for East Kootenay Foundation for Health (EKFH) and regional health care thanks to a very generous donation from the Royal Canadian Legion Windermere District Branch No. 71.

The $5,000 gift from the 200-plus member strong service club is being directed to purchase a colonoscope for the Endoscopy Unit at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital. The Invermere gift is joining those from other Legions in the East Kootenay Zone for a total contribution of $20,000 for the equipment.

The gift to EKFH was not the only group to benefit from the fundraising efforts of the RCL No. 71. Donations were also directed to purchase three Defibullators for various facilities in Invermere and a specialized bed for the Veteran’s Hospital in Vancouver.
