A Saskatoon couple is honouring their grandchildren through a $250,000 donation to the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Foundation, for a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit twin room.
Wayne and Debra Grund are owners of Visions Salon & Spa and Surface Hair.
The birth of their twin grandchildren, Abigail and Grace, was a unique one because the twins shared an umbilical cord which meant one baby could disrupt the other’s life support.
The twins are now healthy and recently celebrated their first birthday.
President and CEO of the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Foundation, Brynn Boback-Lane, says the Grund’s thoughtful gift holds significant meaning not only for their family, but for many future families in Saskatchewan who find themselves in the NICU with twin babies.
The hospital is set to open late next year.

The Candian government wants the country’s banks to identify, in customers’ bank statements when they receive the carbon rebate, that it is labelled as such.
Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says the lack of a clear identifier is contributing to confusion about carbon price rebates, so he is going to change the law if he has to in order to force the big banks to identify the carbon rebate by name when doing direct deposits.
The first rebate deposits in 2022 were labelled very generically, which meant recipients had no idea why they were getting the money.
T-D and B-MO have adopted the government’s requested “CdaCarbonRebate” entry, R-B-C and Scotiabank say they couldn’t make the change in time for the rollout, and C-I-B-C is still calling it “Deposit Canada.”
