Hospital re-naming contest continues

North Shore residents have a month left to re-name the Blind River District Health Centre.  The hospital has been running a contest for a new name and the winner gets an iPad.  Also, $1,000 is donated to a school, service club or non-profit group of your choice from Spanish to Echo Bay.  The need for a new name became necessary once Blind River integrated with hospitals in Thessalon and St. Joseph Island.  Things to keep in mind when coming up with a name is, it should easily translate into French and needs to be original.   The contest deadline is January 31st.
