Former prime minister Jean Chrétien has been named honourary chair of an ambitious campaign to raise $50 million for innovative medical research right here in our community, it was announced at The Ottawa Hospital’s signature gala held Saturday night at The Westin hotel.
The Tender Loving Research Campaign is being led by Greg Kane, counsel at Dentons Canada LPP. He’s past board chair of The Ottawa Hospital Foundation and co-chair of the hospital gala committee, along with Whitney Fox.
The evening, which sold out months ago, drew a who’s who of doctors, business leaders and politicians for a lustrous night of dinner, dancing and celebration of modern advances in local medical research. The 650 attendees included Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin, Bank of Canada Governor Stephen Poloz and local Liberal MPPs Bob Chiarelli, John Fraser and Yasir Naqvi, the latter of whom may see the inside of a hospital soon; his wife Christine McMillan is expecting again this winter.
Also among the special guests was popular news anchor Lucy van Oldenbarneveld from CBC Ottawa. She’s been off air while fighting breast cancer but has joined the campaign as an ambassador.
For sure, it helps to recruit household names, like Chrétien and Lucy van O, to the cause but what some may not know is that Chrétien has a brother, Dr. Michel Chrétien, who’s famous in his own right as a medical research scientist. It’s in his name that the hospital’s Researcher of the Year Award was handed out at the gala, to Dr. Marc Carrier for leading a clinical trial that will save countless patients with blood clots from unnecessary and potentially harmful tests.
Dr. David Moher received the Grimes Research Career Achievement Award for his pioneering work in combining the results of many different studies to solve medical controversies, and for creating guidelines to improve health research reporting. The Worton Researcher in Training Award went to Dr. Carolina Ilkow for her outstanding work in developing cancer-fighting viruses with Dr. John Bell, including a novel virus targeted against pancreatic cancer.
The black-tie dinner raised $410,000. Nordion was back as long-time title sponsor, joined by dozens of other corporate sponsors. Fetching models wore Sukhoo Sukhoo Couture and the ballroom was decorated with stunning style. You’d be hard pressed to find anything cold and sterile about this hospital event.
