They are licensed for 8 infants from 6 months to 2 years, and 32 pre-school children from 2 – 6 years of age. Hours of operation are 6:30 am to 6:30 pm Monday to Friday with the exception of statutory holidays and the Manitoba Child Care Association Conference. Childcare services are offered to hospital employees, and the community at large.

The Scholarship Fund was initially set up in 1959 by Mr. H. Owen Jones. Mr. Jones was the first lay member of The Grace board. He recognized the need for the hospital to encourage and assist employees to undertake further studies.
Interested individuals and/or groups make donations to the fund which is administered by The Winnipeg Foundation. Earnings on the investment are made available annually for scholarship grants. Applications are reviewed by the Scholarship Fund Committee twice a year (spring and fall). All full-time and part-time staff are eligible to apply after one year of employment. On average, approximately 40 employees each year receive grants. Contact Educational Resources at (204) 837-0346 for more information.
Students from the Wellington College of Remedial Massage Therapies Inc. provide free massages one day a week from September to June. Sign up sheets are located next to Human Resources on the ground floor. Watch for the “roving massage therapist” who comes directly to the wards.
