The Tour de Bleu is an annual cycling fundraiser in support of local health care and children’s charities.
This year all donations raised from the Tour De Bleu, will benefit the redevelopment of Trillium’s Intensive care nursery allowing staff to care for their most vulnerable patients in an environment designed for their special needs.
Trillium Health Centre is one of Canada’s busiest birthing centres with over 4,400 births each year. The Intensive Care Nursery (ICN) cares for babies born up to eight weeks prematurely, requiring 24-hour observation and highly specialized care. Over the years, the ICN has grown, and is now extremely crowded and outdated. With the support of the generous donations raised by the Tour de Bleu, Trillium’s ICN will be expanded to accommodate more bedside spaces and comfortable surroundings for parents to sleep, meet with the health care professionals, and interact with their precious newborns.
All are welcome to join us on Sunday, July 26th as we celebrate the arrival of over 30 cyclists from a 200 mile journey ending at Trillium Health Centre – Mississauga at approximately 4:00 pm.
