24th Annual Joseph Brant Hospital Antique and Collectible Auction

Moira is one of the amazing Auction Committee volunteers who helps to organize and run the Annual Joseph Brant Hospital Antique and Collectible Auction. She began volunteering at Joseph Brant Hospital in 2018 after moving to Burlington. Previously, she spent 17 years volunteering for the local hospital in her old neighbourhood.

“When I moved to Burlington, it just made sense to come and volunteer at the hospital,” she said “I really like to organize events, so helping with the Auction is perfect for me.”

This year’s Auction is being held in-person again, after moving to an online format for the past two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It will be held at St. Christopher’s Anglican Church on September 17, beginning at 9 a.m. A preview of the items will be held on September 16, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. and again on September 17 from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m.

“We like to be known for the quality of our items up for auction. A lot of people donate items because they’ve had a loved one who received care in the hospital –they want to give back. A team of appraisers and volunteers work year-round to secure high-quality items including furniture, china, crystals, art, jewelry and this year’s featured item, a 1994 Harley Davidson FXDS Convertible.

“The auction greatly helps the hospital – it’s in its 24^th year now and people look forward to it every year!”
