OTTAWA – Hydro Ottawa Group has officially surpassed its half-million-dollar pledge to The Royal, reaching a total of $548,000 in support of the newly opened Minto Greenberg Urgent Care Clinic. This major milestone was achieved last Friday, when the company’s Charity Golf Classic raised more than $180,000 with the support of more than 200 industry partners.

“Every year, this tournament demonstrates the impact of our corporate giving program and its commitment to critical healthcare needs in Ottawa,” said Bryce Conrad, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hydro Ottawa. “Watching our partners come together with such passion and generosity to make vital mental health support accessible to those who need it, is a moving reminder of what we can achieve together. “

Driven by a philosophy to “give where they live,” Hydro Ottawa rallies the community at their annual event to invest in life-saving care across the city. This year marked the final year of partnership with The Royal, empowering the new Minto Greenberg Urgent Care Clinic to deliver immediate, compassionate crisis intervention — guaranteeing faster, dignified care for patients and families while taking vital pressure off overcrowded emergency rooms.

“I want to extend our profound gratitude to Hydro Ottawa and their partners for this extraordinary support,” said Chris Ide, president and CEO of The Royal’s Foundation. “Their partnership has helped make the Minto Greenberg Urgent Care Clinic a reality, fundamentally transforming mental health access in our region and saving lives.”

Since its inception, the Hydro Ottawa Charity Golf Classic has raised almost $1.7 million for local causes, demonstrating the impact collective action has on community connection and wellbeing.
