Support the Opening of the Jim Pattison Acute Care Tower

NEW WESTMINSTER, BC, March 17, 2026 — Time is ticking down to the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation’s 50/50 Lottery Jackpot draw. On March 26, someone is going to take half the prize – could it be you?

The new Jim Pattison Acute Care Tower is scheduled to this year and the upper floors reflect a vision of health care built not only for today’s patients but for generations to come. Levels 7 through 10 bring together dedicated inpatient units that support healing, teaching, and the delivery of highly specialized care for patients across British Columbia.

Level 7 will be home to Internal Medicine and the Clinical Teaching Unit, where teams care for patients with complex medical needs while training the next generation of physicians. On Level 8, Vascular Surgery and Medicine will come together in a modern environment designed to support recovery. Level 9 will house Royal Columbian’s Neurosciences Unit, caring for patients experiencing stroke, brain and spine injuries, and other neurological conditions. And on Level 10, the Trauma and Orthopedics Units will support individuals recovering from serious injuries, fractures, and orthopedic surgeries.

Across all four floors, private rooms, improved infection control, enhanced monitoring, and quieter, more welcoming environments create space for rest, dignity, and family support.

Help Make Care at RCH Even Better

When you play, you’re not just chasing cash. You’re also standing behind Royal Columbian’s doctors, nurses, and patients as we prepare to transform care for generations with the opening in 2026 of the Jim Pattison Acute Care Tower.

Buy Tickets and Support Patients Like Russ

NEW WESTMINSTER, BC, March 13, 2026 — Support Royal Columbian Hospital by purchasing a ticket for the 50/50 Lottery, and you may just win the jackpot!

With every ticket purchase, you’re making stories like Russ Moore’s possible. A few fleeting bouts of breathlessness turned into an emergency for Russ. After collapsing at his mother’s home, tests revealed a massive pulmonary embolism. Russ was transferred to Royal Columbian, where our Interventional Radiology team removed the clot from his lungs. Caregivers then initiated advanced life support when Russ suffered a cardiac arrest.

To stabilize him, the team placed Russ on ECMO, a highly specialized system that temporarily takes over the work of the heart and lungs. This level of care is available at only a small number of hospitals in British Columbia, and Royal Columbian is one of the few equipped to provide it when patients need the highest level of critical support.

 

Buy Today to Cement Your Chance!

Funds for specialized equipment like an ECMO system is just one way that the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation helps make RCH a provincial leader in critical care. Your participation makes this work possible! 

Imagine winning the jackpot this March. Our last jackpot winner took home $86,880! You’ll be helping Royal Columbian officially open the Jim Pattison Acute Care Tower, a facility that will nearly double capacity and expand care for patients across BC.

KELOWNA, BC, Wednesday, March 11, 2026 — There are just a few days remaining to secure tickets for the Heart of BC 50/50 Lottery. With the jackpot over half a million dollars, one very lucky winner is going to receive a life-changing prize, and communities across the heart of BC will receive significant funding for community health projects.

In the summer of 2025, the KGH Foundation expanded the partnerships for the Heart of BC lottery to regional health care foundations, in addition to the ongoing collaboration with the YMCA of Southern Interior BC, to ensure that the proceeds of the 50/50 had an impact in communities across the region.

Live in Kamloops? Proceeds will support the Royal Inland Foundation. What about a smaller community like Trail? You’re supporting the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital Foundation. You can view a full list of the Heart of BC partners here.

Located outside of the Southern Interior? Your participation still plays a vital role in building healthier communities, and has a ripple effect for all those who call BC home (not to mention your chance to take home a life-changing jackpot).

With each ticket giving you the chance to win more than a quarter of a million dollars, and guaranteeing impact for British Columbians, it’s a win-win. Sales close this Friday, March 13 at midnight; be sure to get your tickets before they’re gone: at heartofbc.ca
