While celebrating the birth of their second child at Sechelt Hospital, Joe and Mandi Marino realized they were in a position to help out their local health care workers. The couple recently took over ownership of the grocery store across the street from the hospital, which happens to come with quite a bit of parking real estate. 

“This is such great news and welcome support for hospital staff and will make parking easier for patients, staff and visitors alike when accessing our hospital, as well as our mental health and substance use services," said Marie Duperreault, VCH Director, Sunshine Coast. “Thank you so much to the Marino family for this amazing gift."
