NOTE TO EDITORS:
On September 6, Member of Parliament for Gander-Grand Falls,
George Baker and provincial Health Minister Lloyd Matthews will
officially open the Exploits Memorial Veterans Pavilion at the
Dr. Hugh Twomey Health Care Centre in Botwood. The ceremony will
commence at 2 p.m.
Also during the event, Honourable Frederick W. Russell,

in remembrance of those who fought for world peace, which will be
part of the veterans unit.
The Exploits Memorial Veterans Pavilion is a 14-bed unit for
priority access by veterans. The opening of the pavilion
represents a further step in the direction to provide veterans
with a wider range of facilities in the province where they can
receive long-term health care.
