This morning, we confronted difficult truths about mental illness and addiction. Too many people are still waiting for specialized care, and too many families are still searching for answers.

But we also saw what becomes possible when a community comes together.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 2026 Leaders for Mental Health Breakfast, presented by TechInsights. Your support is helping improve access to care, advance research and move promising discoveries into more effective treatment outcomes.

On this National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day, we are honoured to unveil two new Indigenous spaces at The Royal: the Katimajut Indigenous Gathering Room, meaning "They Gather" in Inuktitut, and the Mushkiki Medicine Room, meaning "Medicine" in Anishinaabemowin.

These spaces were created to support healing, connection, ceremony, and culturally safe care for Indigenous patients, families, staff, and community partners. We also recently unveiled Indigenous artwork in our Minto Greenberg Urgent Care Clinic, including The Path to Healing by , a powerful reflection on the lifelong journey of healing through culture, community, spirit, and connection to the land.

Together, these additions reflect our continued commitment to advancing reconciliation and to creating spaces where Indigenous knowledge, cultures, and ways of healing are respected, honoured, and reflected in care. They are an important part of our efforts to strengthen belonging, embrace diverse perspectives, and foster a more inclusive environment for those we serve and work alongside.

As we gather to reflect on the truths of our shared history and the impacts of residential schools, we remain committed to listening, learning, strengthening relationships, and taking action toward healing and reconciliation.

When Waverley House Foundation made its historic $14 million donation to the Lives Reclaimed campaign, they wanted it to inspire more than momentum. They wanted it to spark a community movement.

That's what started the 15,000 donation challenge: when 15,000 donations are made to Lives Reclaimed, Waverley House Foundation will donate an additional $1 million. No matter the amount, every gift helps more people reclaim their lives from mental illness and addiction.

Reliable and timely laboratory services are an important part of delivering safe, high quality care to our patients.

We're looking forward to this new partnership with EORLA - ALREO, beginning October 26, that will strengthen access to timely, high-quality laboratory testing while providing our clinicians and care teams with access to a strong regional network of laboratory expertise, technology and quality systems.

EORLA and The Royal Announce New Laboratory Medicine Partnership

We’re pleased to announce a new partnership between the Eastern Ontario Regional Laboratory Association (EORLA) and The Royal, beginning October 26, 2026.

Through this partnership, EORLA will provide comprehensive laboratory medicine services for The Royal, connecting patients and care teams with EORLA’s regional network of medical, scientific and technical laboratory expertise, quality systems and lab technology.

Thank you to Tech Insights for their continued leadership as Visionary Sponsor of The Royal's Leaders for Mental Health Breakfast.

Year after year, their commitment has helped increase access to specialized mental illness and addiction care, improve research and treatment outcomes, and empower more people to reclaim what mental illness and addiction have taken from them.

We are grateful for their support.

When a mental health crisis arises, care can't wait.
Our new urgent care clinic opened earlier this week. Officially named the Minto Greenberg Urgent Care Clinic, it recognizes an extraordinary $2.5 million gift from The Minto Greenberg Legacy Foundation to the Lives Reclaimed campaign.
This gift addresses one of the greatest challenges facing our community: access to timely mental health care. Their support helps close a critical gap in care and create new opportunities for people to receive help before a crisis escalates.
Because everyone deserves access to effective care when they need it most.
