In July 2026, we installed NINE Smilezones at the Sault Area Hospital in Sault Ste. Marie, ON! The Smilezones include: fresh paint, colourful murals and sensory!
Thank you to our generous donors, Tim Hortons, Sault Ste. Marie, for making this project possible.
“Creating a healthcare environment where children can feel comfortable, engaged and supported can make a meaningful difference in their experience,” said Scott Bachly, Co-Founder, Smilezone Foundation. “We are incredibly grateful to the Sault Ste. Marie Tim Hortons restaurant owners and everyone in the community who supported the Holiday and Smile Cookie campaigns. Their generosity is helping turn important healthcare spaces into places that bring a little more joy to children and families when they need it most.”
“Thank you to the local Tim Horton’s owners – Rico and Romina Fata, Michael McNally, Ashleigh MacLeod and Ryan DiTommaso – for bringing this project to Sault Area Hospital,” said Teresa Martone, Executive Director – Sault Area Hospital Foundation. “Thanks to their initiative, children and families in the Algoma District now have access to spaces specially designed to bring a smile to their care experiences. Their generous gift, through Smilezone Foundation, is making more outstanding care possible at Sault Area Hospital.”
