Board Members and Cabinet Volunteers ANNUAL REPORT 2020-21 2 A MESSAGE FROM OUR LEADERS xtraordinary times call for extraordinary bravery, and SickKids is responding to the COVID-19 pandemic with exceptional fortitude and resilience. Our deepest gratitude extends to our E courageous frontline staff, who are keeping patients and families safe—our top priority. Care at SickKids is rapidly evolving to address community needs. Targeted outreach has helped detect and curtail COVID-19 outbreaks through on-site testing at schools and congregate care settings. SickKids supported care from a distance with nearly 100,000 virtual visits this past year. We also launched a new virtual urgent care program to give our paediatric patients and families a new option to seek urgent care from home. It allows families to determine what type of care is needed, access reliable health education resources and, for eligible patients, participate in live virtual urgent care visits. After ramping down clinical activity early in the pandemic, we carefully restored full operative care, ensuring the safe delivery of vital surgeries. We strengthened partnerships with overburdened hospitals and took measures to support the broader health-care system. That is why we accepted children from other hospitals and took the unprecedented step of supporting adult patients with COVID-19—while ensuring we delivered high-quality care for all our patients.

The demands of the COVID-19 pandemic are unlike anything we have experienced before. And SickKids is rising to the challenge. We are protecting ourselves with masks and gloves. We are fast-tracking our virtual care expansion. We are building innovative processes to recycle masks and finding new ways to fight the virus. But most of all, we are moving forward. In October, we put our shovels in the ground at a historic groundbreaking ceremony. Braving wind and rain, a crowd of cheering SickKids supporters joined Mayor John Tory, SickKids President Dr. Ronald Cohn, SickKids Foundation CEO Ted Garrard, and many distinguished guests to mark the beginning of construction of the Patient Support Centre — a 22-storey, state-of-the-art education, training and administrative hub slated to open in 2022. In March, we launched SickKids 2025, our bold new strategic plan that will shift us from a one-size-fits-all approach to individualized care tailored to each patient’s unique characteristics, from their genetic code to their postal code. With the support of our staff, community partners and funding agencies led by the Ontario Government, the future for children’s health is bright.

What changes have occurred over the fifty years since then! Even our official name has changed - to RSCDS Toronto Scottish Country Dance Association. But one thing which has not changed is the joy and sociability (not to mention exercise, both physi- cal and mental) that Scottish Country Dancing provides to people of all ages. We hope that this book pro- vides a record of past events, an insight into our history, happy recollections for many dancers, and, for newer danc- ers, connections to those who came before. Onward to the next fifty years! Jane E. Robinson Chair, RSCDS Toronto Association 4 5 RSCDS Toronto Association – the more recent history Although RSCDS Toronto Association is commonly called Toronto Branch by many of its members, it has in fact gone through two name changes since it was first founded in 1957 as the Toronto Branch of the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society. In 1992, the United Kingdom introduced charities legislation that affected the relationship between the Society in Edinburgh and all of its branches.
