It’s time to start talking about the Saint John Dragon Boat Festival coming up in August.
This year’s event will support the purchase of equipment for minimally invasive spine surgery.
Festival chair Bob Boyce says this equipment along with the expansion of the Extended Day Surgery program will allow St. Joseph’s hospital to double the number of spine surgeries performed in a year.
The goal is to raise $232,000 dollars at this year’s event on August 28th in Renforth.
