Old content:

Previous content here quoted a Daily News article about the Coats family’s offer of a two-acre lot on North Road for the clinic. Link to that article has been removed because the Gabriola Health Care Foundation opted for the land Rooks has offered to donate instead. Also, the Daily news has removed the article from their website.
