The Ledcor Group of Companies and the company’s chairman and CEO, Dave Lede, are making a joint $5 million donation to BC Children’s Hospital Foundation to support the construction of a new Children’s Hospital on Oak Street in Vancouver and to name the Emergency Department in the new hospital.

Once the new hospital is complete, the Emergency Department, which receives close to 40,000 visits a year, will carry the Ledcor name and acknowledge the contribution by the Dave Lede Family Charitable Foundation.

“Ledcor and the Dave Lede Family Charitable Foundation have a long history of supporting children’s hospitals across North America,” said Dave Lede.

“Our corporate culture involves supporting the communities in which we operate, and through our gift to the BC Children’s Hospital we are able to reach children and families across B.C.”

Since locating its head office in Vancouver in the early 1980s, Ledcor and its employees have been active contributors to BC Children’s Hospital.
