Brynn continues to lead a strong Saskatchewan team that has been successful in advocating for and receiving funding from government in a commitment to building Saskatchewan’s first dedicated children’s and maternal hospital. Brynn and her Foundation team, have raised over $125M, and secured the largest in a single philanthropic gift within the province of $50.0M from Mr. Jim Pattison, originally from Luseland, SK.

Brynn led the Foundation from humble beginnings, and learned quickly that the navigation of government policy; regional and provincial environments, relationship development, economic capacity and donor appetite were key elements that were vital to this initiative being successful. Brynn focused her efforts on building up expertise and the recruitment of provincial leadership in strategy, marketing, promotion, public/government communications and economic and philanthropic development.

On a September 5, 2019, Saskatchewan celebrated the ribbon cutting ceremony of their first dedicated children’s and maternal hospital. September 29, the very first patients were decanted and served within this new facility; bearing the name, Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital, with the associated Hospital Foundation bearing the same.

LuAn Mitchell Interviews the dynamic chief executive officer of Ronald McDonald House Charities Saskatchewan, Tammy Forrester has spearheaded the expansion of the Ronald McDonald House in Saskatoon from a modest support mechanism for families to a modern, inclusive and welcoming space. The House grew from 13 rooms to 34 in the span of two years, and families are reaping the benefits.

Forrester is continually identifying new partners to work with in the corporate and not-for-profit space, and has become a go-to resource for the Ronald McDonald Canada and North America network. Her leadership and guidance have proven valuable, as she has built a strong team able to work across the province from the southern tip to the northern regions.

For this dynamic CEO, diversity means, “difference of thought, opinion, culture and values. When you can embrace diversity in your work environment and include all views as a part of the whole, you are truly working towards an inclusive environment. All opinions matter and all opinions count.”

She goes on to explain, “We live in a diverse world, with a mix of cultures, races, experiences, thoughts and opinions. There is so much strength in a work environment, and growth on a personal level, that can be gained by opening ourselves up to truly listen to others. Perspective is an important thing and we each have our own. When we can see another’s perspective, we are better able to solve problems and make valuable, strong and right decisions for our organizations and ourselves. Diversity and true cultural humility helps us see and value our place in the world, as well as others’.”

Finally, Forrester offers this advice to women on their way up, “Honor one another and raise each other up whenever you have the opportunity to do so. There are so many things that you can accomplish and influence, but you first must know yourself, value your own strengths and create teams that bring different strengths to the table. As a leader you can only be as strong as the team you have around you.”

Our Mission

OFFERING STRENGTH AND HOPE EACH DAY, EVERY DAY

We believe when families are together, they cope better.  We believe no family should have to deal with their child’s medical crisis alone.

The mission of RMHC is to create, find and support programs that directly improve the health and wellbeing of children.  Guiding us in our mission are our core values:

  • Lead with compassion
  • Focus on the critical needs of children
  • Celebrate the diversity of our people and our programs
  • Value our heritage
  • Operate with accountability and transparency

Ronald McDonald House Charities Saskatchewan (RMHC-SK) continues to actively care for SK families, and in close consultation with hospital partners and health care authorities are committed to taking precautions to ensure the health, safety and well-being of all people we serve.

Additionally, the Ronald McDonald Family Room, located at the Victoria Hospital in Prince Albert is NOW OPEN!

We continue to work with our hospital partners and local health care authorities, in support of families with sick children, our communities, and our healthcare workers. Always, but especially now, we feel deep gratitude for our community who together are helping families when they need it most.

Here is just a sneak peek: My “mommy gut” feelings told me there was something else wrong. Zarah had stopped moving her one arm, plus she had become very sleepy and just was not herself. Our dear daughter had no platelets to stop bleeding and her white blood cells were 10 times higher than normal.

The night emergency doctor called the local pediatrician for further instructions. I clearly remember overhearing their conversation. “I will get the ambulance ready, should I mention, it could be cancer”. My precious baby girl and her dad were fast asleep on a tiny stretcher and I cried silently.
