Ronald McDonald House Charities Atlantic - Increasing sustainability and inclusivity in the new Ronald McDonald House
FY 2024-25 · 2025-03-14
Summary
RMHC® Atlantic is constructing a new Ronald McDonald House in the Maritimes, situated at 5940 South Street in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The facility will be located directly across the street from the IWK Health Centre which is the only children’s hospital in the Maritimes, and the largest facility in Atlantic Canada caring for patients under 21 years of age. This expansion aims to double the number of families served annually from 600 to 1,200, while also broadening the range of support programs available during their stay. The initiative prioritizes increased support for equity-deserving groups, including low-income families, as well as Indigenous, First Nations, racially visible, and immigrant
families. Funding from Canada will facilitate the project's transition to net zero carbon, enhancing sustainability and aligning with environmental objectives. Moreover, the funding enables the integration of additional accessible features, catering to the diverse needs of the population served by RMHC® Atlantic.
