Ronald McDonald House breaks ground on serenity garden

Ronald McDonald House Hamilton broke ground today on their new serenity garden for families with sick children.

Fundraising in partnership with Dalton Timmis Insurance has raised over $195,000 for the project. CEO Chantell Tunney says the space will afford families a quiet space to collect their thoughts and find solace away from distractions.

“We’re going to have a beautiful garden that’s going to be a meditative and serene space for families that will be a direct contrast to the environment at the hospital and we’re looking at an outdoor kitchen and fireplace and waterfall, meditative space. This is going to be a garden that is four seasons, that will be available 365 days a year 24 hours a day.”

Fundraising for the serenity garden contnues. It’s expected to be complete by the end of summer.
