Tour de Bleu Cycling Event Raises a Record $5.65 Million for Osler Foundation
46 Riders Cycle to Support Increased Capacity for Youth Mental Health Programs at William Osler Health System
On September 12, 2023, the annual Tour de Bleu fundraiser hosted by Mattamy Homes and the Peter Gilgan Foundation raised $5.65 million for William Osler Health System Foundation to support specialized mental health care at William Osler Health System (Osler) hospitals to benefit youth in our community.
A total of 46 avid cyclists participated in the event, riding 200km over the course of the weekend, including a ride from cottage country to Osler’s Peel Memorial Centre for Integrated Health and Wellness (Peel Memorial) in Brampton. The funds raised will help Osler increase capacity for mental health care with the transformation of Peel Memorial into Brampton’s new hospital, which will include the area’s first Adolescent Intensive Day (AID) Program for youth struggling with self-harm and suicidal thoughts.
A Look Back at Tour de Bleu 2023
Youth Mental Health at Osler
Osler’s Mental Health and Addictions program is one of the largest in Ontario.
25% of parents report that their children’s mental health worsened during the pandemic.
Osler experiences the largest number of Emergency Department mental health visits in the GTA.
Following the pandemic, there has been an increase in symptom severity in patients and longer wait times for all mental health programs at Osler.
With thanks to Peter Gilgan, the Peter Gilgan Foundation, Mattamy Homes, Tour de Bleu cyclists, guests and generous sponsors for their invaluable commitment to making a tangible difference for youth in our region.
The funds raised will help create Peel Region’s first Adolescent Intensive Day Program for youth struggling with self-harm and suicidal thoughts, housed in the new Peel Memorial Hospital.
Patients, like Chasity and Gurdeep, will receive timely access to specialized care that will result in: reduced wait times, fewer repeat visits, reduced length of stay and most importantly, a brighter future.
