Ice-skating falls
send thousands each year
to emergency rooms.
Children are the most vulnerable.
The grand prize of this year’s
Children Hospital of Eastern Ontario’s lottery:
A fully furnished, 1.5 million dollar home, featuring
an 18-feet high, freestanding fireplace,
oak cabinets,
and three-dimensional, hexagon marble tiles in the
kitchen and the master bathroom.
In the basement,
a private rink.
