The Peter Gilgan Foundation has pledged to donate a historic $50 million to The Ottawa Hospital, marking the largest philanthropic donation in Ottawa’s history.

The $50 million investment from the Peter Gilgan Foundation will support The Ottawa Hospital’s $500-million Campaign to Create Tomorrow and the New Campus Development project. In recognition of this historic gift, The Ottawa Hospital will name the new facility the Peter Gilgan Critical Care Tower, which will house critical care services, such as the Trauma Centre, emergency services, and the ICU, for patients across the region and beyond. The new facility will bring together critical care teams, advanced technology, and resources to help some of the most critically ill patients in the region.

Peter Gilgan is an Officer of the Order of Canada and a well-known philanthropist whose gifts have transformed numerous Canadian organizations. He is the founder of Mattamy Homes, Canada’s largest new home construction and development company, and has spent decades creating places where people and families can build their lives and their futures. Peter believes that investing in health care is one of the most meaningful ways to strengthen communities.
