Cousineau Family and OCP Construction Make Transformational $5 Million Gift to Expand Pediatric Care

"Families in Northeastern Ontario deserve high quality care close to home. No one from Hearst, Timmins, or Sudbury should have to travel up to ten hours for an appointment they should be able to receive here," says Christine Cousineau of OCP Construction Supplies. "My family has supported HSN before, donating to NEO Kids since 2020. I'm so proud we are doing so again."

This commitment to regional care is being backed by action. HSN and the HSN Foundation are proud to announce a transformational $5 million donation from OCP Construction Supplies and the Cousineau family to expand pediatric care across Northeastern Ontario.
