Bathurst, November 12, 2026 – The Chaleur Regional Hospital Foundation is pleased to announce the creation of the Jean-Guy and Elizabeth Robichaud Fund, an endowment fund established to help ensure the Foundation's long-term sustainability and support the priorities of the Chaleur Regional Hospital.
For many years, Jean-Guy Robichaud has been a dedicated supporter of healthcare in the Chaleur region. Through the creation of this fund, he also wishes to honour the memory of his wife, Elizabeth, whose kindness, dedication and commitment to others touched many lives.
Throughout his career, Mr. Robichaud worked for the Department of Transportation before leading the development and operation of the Allardville Landfill Site. Known for his initiative and leadership, he played a key role in advancing several environmental and recycling projects in the region.
Mrs. Robichaud, who passed away in 2018, devoted more than 33 years to education. Remembered for her generosity, sense of humour and dedication to young people, she positively influenced generations of students and remained actively involved in community life.
Together, they also opened their home to young people as a foster family for more than ten years and were involved with numerous local organizations. Parents of four children and grandparents of six grandchildren, they always placed great importance on helping others. Mr. Robichaud continues this commitment today as Chair of the Board of Directors of the Chaleur Regional Hospital Foundation.
"Throughout our lives, Elizabeth and I have always sought to give back to our community. By establishing this fund, I hope to support the hospital that is so important to our region while paying tribute to the person with whom I shared a commitment to helping others for so many years," said Mr. Robichaud.
Income generated by the fund will help address priority needs at the Chaleur Regional Hospital for years to come.
"The creation of the Jean-Guy and Elizabeth Robichaud Fund reflects a remarkable commitment to our Foundation. Through this generous gift, Mr. Robichaud is helping support healthcare in our region while preserving the values that guided both his and Elizabeth's lives. We are deeply grateful for his generosity," said André Leclair, Executive Director of the Foundation.
Through this gesture, Mr. Robichaud demonstrates that there are many ways to support the Foundation and help strengthen healthcare close to home.
