With heavy hearts, we learn of the recent passing of Georgina (Georgie) Hari. Georgie was a true leader and passionate advocate for advancing healthcare in Thunder Bay and across Northwestern Ontario.

Under Georgie’s leadership the hospital foundation undertook the bold campaign to raise funds for a new, centrally located hospital – our wonderful Health Sciences Centre. Alongside the hospital’s leadership she worked tirelessly to make our community’s collective dream a reality. After the opening of the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre, Georgie continued in her mission until her retirement in 2008. We will be forever in her debt.

Always a trailblazer, prior to becoming a staff member at the Foundation, Georgie had a distinguished career in telecommunications – retiring as the General Manager for Bell Canada in 1998.

We extend our deepest condolences to Georgie’s family and loved ones. May you find comfort knowing the lasting impact Georgie had on healthcare in our community. Thank you.
