Rail safety has paid off for New Westminster’s Royal Columbian Hospital. For two years, locally based Southern Railway of British Columbia has matched funds saved by its employees through injury prevention and donated them to the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation. Over that time, the employees’ safety record has resulted in $126,000 in extra cash for the hospital. “This is a brilliant example of how to take a company goal and turn it into an opportunity to give back to the region,” Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation chair Doug Eveneshen said in a press release. “We’re incredibly grateful to Southern Railway of British Columbia for their generosity and to its employees for their ongoing dedication to safety.” Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation is a provincial and regional independent charitable foundation that raises millions of dollars annually to help fund priority equipment needs, facility enhancements, research, education and innovation at RCH.
