From July 15th-17th, 2016, FIVE SMILEZONES were installed at Headwaters Health Care Centre in Orangeville, ON, bringing the total number of Smilezones in Ontario up to 76! Over the span of one weekend, the Smilezone team magically transformed five new child-friendly Zones in the Women’s/Children’s and Paediatric Departments at Headwaters, including the Obstetrics Family Room, three paediatric in-patient rooms, and the Paediatrics Playroom.
This installation involved many wonderful features, including:
The Toronto Rock worked generously with Smilezone Foundation over the course of their 2016 season in support of this installation, inspiring an active lacrosse theme in the paediatrics playroom – we couldn’t have been happier to have them involved! A huge thank you to the entire Toronto Rock team and staff for their continued support and commitment to Smilezone Foundation, making this installation extra-special for the strong lacrosse community in Orangeville.
Headwaters Health Care Centre is an 86-bed acute and complex continuing care facility, offering both inpatient and outpatient services, as well as an Emergency Department with 24/7 coverage.

In 2016, the Toronto Rock announced the Smilezone Foundation as their official charity partner for the 2016 season. This partnership saw funds raised for Smilezone through various efforts throughout the season including the 50/50 draws at Toronto Rock home games as well as the Rock’s annual charity game on Saturday, April 9 against New England.
