Carrying the legacy – In 1980, the Wellington County Historical Society, through the assistance of the Ontario Ministry of Culture and Recreation, presented a plaque to Groves Memorial Community Hospital in memory of Dr. Groves who founded the hospital in 1901. The plaque commemorates Dr. Groves’ legacy. Here, representatives and board members from the Wellington County Historical Society stand alongside the plaque.
