History of Roger's House
Following the death of former assistant coach Roger Neilson in 2004, a legacy was created in his honour by the Ottawa Senators Foundation . This was achieved in collaboration with The Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario, the Ontario Ministries of Health and Children and Youth Services . The result is a free standing eight bed palliative care facility on the grounds of CHEO for children with progressive life limiting illness. The overwhelming contribution and support of the Ottawa Community made the dream of Roger's House a reality. Roger's House opened its doors to its first guest and family on May 15th 2006, within two years of the idea's conception.
This "mini" web site found here at "history.rogershouse.ca" is meant to serve as a reminder and thanks to all those who helped make Roger's House a reality.
