A lifelong resident of New Tecumseth, Margaret Barber wanted to give back to her community in a way that was helpful to everyone.
While still employed with Baxter Corporation in Alliston she became a corporate member of the Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation.
She was elected to the Foundation Board in 2011 began serving on a number of committees including Governance, Finance, By-Law, and the Audit Committees. In 2015, she became the Chairperson of the Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation Board of Directors.
This made her part of the driving force behind various fundraising activities, including the Digital Mammography Campaign, she Chaired the “It Takes You” Campaign
and was the co-Chair of the 2015 Stevenson Memorial Hospital Gala.
The Moroccan inspired event raised more than $455,000 for the purchase of medical equipment for the hospital.
Barber says what she does is not for her, she does it so others can use the medical facilities and access equipment that would otherwise not be available
