September 23, 2026, ETOBICOKE The annual Osler Open: Etobicoke Invitational raised $232,245 on September 21st in support of William Osler Health System’s (Osler) Etobicoke General Hospital (Etobicoke General), marking three decades of community support for local health care.

Hosted by William Osler Health System Foundation (Osler Foundation), and presented by IFS, the annual fundraiser welcomed 144 golfers, along with sponsors, employees and volunteers to the historic Islington Golf Club. Participants enjoyed a full day on the course, including 18 holes of golf, on-course experiences, contests, and post-game hospitality, all in support of Etobicoke General.

“In Ontario, communities must fund 100 per cent of hospital equipment costs and a portion of construction costs. For Osler’s Etobicoke General, that means community support isn’t just appreciated, it’s essential,” said Shelagh Barry, Interim President and CEO, William Olser Health System Foundation. “For 30 years, golfers, sponsors, volunteers, and community members have stepped up through this tournament to help ensure our teams have the equipment they need to provide exceptional care. We are incredibly grateful for that legacy of generosity.”

Etobicoke General cares for a rapidly growing and diverse community and is part of Osler’s network of hospitals. Osler serves a region that is home to more than 1.3 million people with some of the highest rates of serious illness in Ontario, including heart disease, kidney disease, and diabetes, with cancer projected to affect one in two people over the next 20 years.

“Every day, our teams at Etobicoke General see firsthand the difference that advanced equipment and technology make in the care we provide,” said Dr. Frank Martino, President and CEO, William Osler Health System. “As our community continues to grow and health care needs become increasingly complex, we must be prepared to grow alongside it by investing in the latest technologies and equipment. The Osler Open: Etobicoke Invitational helps us build for the future while ensuring we continue to deliver exceptional care today.”

“IFS is proud to stand behind Etobicoke General and the people who care about our community,” said Paul Bhullar, President, IFS and golf tournament Presenting Sponsor. “For us, supporting the Osler Open: Etobicoke Invitational is about investing in the place we call home. Our employees, families, friends and neighbours all rely on local health care, and we believe businesses have a responsibility to help strengthen it. It’s a privilege to be part of this milestone event.”

In addition to IFS, the Osler Open: Etobicoke Invitational was made possible thanks to the generous support of Eagle Sponsors, CIBC, Downsview Kitchens, and Steve Robinson and Associates of RBC Dominion Securities; and Iron Sponsors, BVD Group, CHG-Meridian Canada Ltd./LOC Medical, Diligent Construction, and On Side Restoration.

Osler Foundation extends its thanks to the golfers, sponsors, volunteers, staff and supporters who helped make the tournament a success.
