The Timmins and District Hospital Foundation's upcoming gala has been cancelled.
In a letter, foundation executive director Jason Laneville said that the decision is "due to the unpredictability of the current state of the COVID-19 Coronavirus".
The gala was scheduled for Saturday, May 23.
"As a non-profit organization we are averse to risk and feel it would be irresponsible to move forward with current unknowns," he wrote.
"We appreciate the support of our Gala Committee, the Hospital Foundation Board of Directors and Hospital Administration with our decision.
We want to thank everyone involved with our event and look forward to spring 2021."
