Donate

Give directly to the hospital fund

A donation is different from a raffle ticket: donations are eligible for a Canada Revenue Agency tax receipt, and every dollar goes to capital medical equipment for Lake of the Woods District Hospital.

Buying a raffle ticket does not generate a tax receipt. Lottery ticket purchases are not gifts under Canadian tax rules.
