On December 28, 2005 the Indo-Asian News Service reported, "The Canadian Sikh community has donated $2.3 million for setting up a new hospital here during a fundraising event through Punjabi community radio programmes. The money will be spent on building the William Osler Health Centre Foundation's Brampton Hospital at Bovaird Drive and Bramalea Road, which is scheduled to open in 2007. The fundraising event, Better Health Radiothon, was organised from Nov 15 to 24. During each programme, radio broadcasters discussed the importance of the new hospital with local residents and appealed for support... The new hospital project is dubbed to be the largest health care infrastructure in the country. The 608-bed hospital, spread at more than one million sq ft area, would 'keep with the modern trend toward holistic health care', said the press release."
