Donor Spotlight: Barry Streib

Barry Streib moved here from Winnipeg about 35 years ago, and instantly felt at home. That was lucky for us! He's put his talents and energy towards a number of Thunder Bay institutions, contributing to the success of the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Foundation and our Hospital, Thunder Bay Blues Festival, the Thunder Bay Chamber of Commerce, and other institutions.

That's why Barry plans to contribute to Thunder Bay's future health care success as well through a gift in his Will.

We are so fortunate to have a hospital in our own backyard with access to high-quality patient care that is provided by all of our amazing health care professionals," Streib said. "New technological advances in equipment, programs and services along with ongoing research ensure they have what is required each day.

Bill Griffis: A Legacy of Generosity

“I’ve been really lucky in life. I’ve done well and I’m capable of giving, so I’m doing it,” said Bill Griffis, who recently chose to leave a donation in his Will to the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Foundation.

Having lived in multiple provinces, including Alberta and British Columbia, Bill returned to his hometown of Thunder Bay in 2012 to build a home on his family’s property on Oliver Lake.

Bill chose to make his donation to the area of highest need. “I trust that the Health Sciences Foundation will use my donation where it’s needed most at the time. I like knowing exactly that it will support the Hospital, but as to where it goes within the Hospital – I leave that to the experts there,” he said.
