Local families will benefit from stronger health care thanks to Bourgeois Auto Group’s commitment as a Strategic Partner in the Georgian Bay General Hospital (GBGH) Foundation’s Business Cares program. 

 

This year marks the 80th anniversary for Bourgeois Motors, a milestone that reflects decades of trusted service and deep community roots. Known for quality vehicles and care, Bourgeois Auto Group has also been a long-standing champion of local causes. Their Strategic Partner pledge builds on this legacy, reinforcing their commitment to ensuring excellent health care is available close to home, now and for future generations. 

“Georgian Bay General Hospital is a cornerstone of our community, providing essential care to countless families, including our own,” share Adam and Beth Bourgeois of Bourgeois Auto Group. “We recognize the critical role the hospital plays in our region’s well-being. Our commitment to the GBGH Foundation is our way of giving back and supporting the hospital’s ongoing efforts to expand and enhance its services. We hope our contribution helps ensure that GBGH continues to meet the evolving needs of our local community, as well as the many visitors who spend summers in the Georgian Bay region.” 

Through their Strategic Partnership, Bourgeois Auto Group joins the “We See You” campaign, a bold $20-million initiative to strengthen health care in North Simcoe through investments in vital equipment, technology, and mental health services. 

“We are sincerely grateful to Bourgeois Auto Group for their continued generosity and unwavering support of GBGH,” says Nicole Kraftscik, CEO, GBGH Foundation. “Their commitment goes far beyond financial giving – they consistently show up for our hospital and our community in meaningful ways through participation at events, in-kind donations and more. Bourgeois Auto Group exemplifies what it means to be a true community leader.” 

 With each new Strategic Partner, the We See You campaign gains momentum, fueled by the generosity and leadership of local businesses. Bourgeois Auto Group joins a growing network of partners who see the importance of care close to home and choose to invest in a strong hospital for our community.

It was a perfect summer evening for a great cause as Larry and Liz Marshall hosted their 5th Annual Oak Bay Corn Roast on September 3, 2025. With nearly 60 guests in attendance, the event raised an incredible $2,052 in support of the Georgian Bay General Hospital (GBGH) Foundation’s “We See You” Capital Campaign.

 

What started as a neighbourhood get-together has grown into a heartwarming annual tradition that combines fun, food, and philanthropy. Over the past five years, the Marshalls’ Corn Roast has raised more than $7,500 to help fund critical hospital priorities, ranging from essential equipment to the hospital’s new MRI. This year’s event brought together friends, family, and neighbours for an evening of connection and generosity, all in support of strengthening local health care.

“Every year, we’re amazed by the support and kindness of our community,” say Larry and Liz Marshall. “We host this event because GBGH means so much to all of us, and we’re proud to help make a difference close to home.”

The Marshalls also extended special thanks to the McBride Riders for generously providing their tent for the event, and to a group of local children who hosted a bake sale, raising an additional $170 to add to the total.

“The Oak Bay Corn Roast is a perfect example of how community spirit can fuel excellent care,” says Robyn Kaczanowski, community giving officer, GBGH Foundation. “Larry and Liz have turned a simple summer tradition into a powerful way to give back, and we’re so grateful for their continued generosity.”
