The Paul Harris Fellow recognition acknowledges individuals who contribute, or who have contributions made in their name, of $1,000 to the Rotary Foundation. Rotarians have a tradition of supporting the Foundation by honoring others. It was an honor to have District Governor John Berry at our meeting to present the award.

Hayden Diamond Bit Industries Limited, Eric's company specializes in made-in-B.C. diamond drill bits and products for the global mining and exploration industry. But they do more than just the diamond business.
Hayden Diamond donated $50,000 to Richmond Hospital’s surgical restart campaign - a $2 million fundraising campaign for Richmond hospital. Richmond Rotary was intimately involved in the fundraising campaign for this important cause.
The funds ensured health care teams have access to state-of-the-art surgical equipment, enabling shorter procedures and faster patient recovery times. The campaign represented the single largest refresh of surgical equipment at Richmond Hospital in nearly a decade.
As all of Eric's four children were born at Richmond General hospital, it was particularly important for him to donate to this worthy cause
Besides helping fund vital equipment at Richmond Hospital, Eric's company has also been a long-time sponsor of Richmond Hospital Foundation’s annual Starlight Gala and has encouraged other businesses and individuals to take part.
Thank you for coming to our meeting, Eric!
