HAGERSVILLE—The 20th annual charity auction for the West Haldimand Hospital and Healthcare Foundation (WHHHF) will be held on November 16, 2019 at the Hagersville Community Centre. The doors for the silent and live auction will open at 6:30 p.m. and the live auction will begin at 7 p.m.

Some of the items being auctioned will include flights (from WestJet, Canadian Warplane Museum, and York Airport), a $500 VIA Rail gift card, garden planning and landscape services, Hagersville Rocks tickets, Erie Beach Fish Bucks, quilts, and artwork. All of the proceeds raised will go towards much-needed equipment for the hospital. The current goal is to be able to purchase an ultrasound, two otoscopes, and two non-invasive blood pressure machines.

There will be an online auction held from November 13 to 20 as well. The online auction can be viewed on Bid2Buy.ca under the West Haldimand Hospital and Healthcare Foundation subheading.
