In its 12th year, Scrubs in the City drew some of the city's most influential movers and shakers to a fabulous night out. Scrubs in the City Presents BLOCK PARTY took place at the Evergreen Brick Works on Thursday, June 6, 2013, hosted by Fashion Television personality Glen Baxter. This year, neighborhoods united in the open air and raised more than $400,000 in support of Toronto's newest member to the community –
The Peter Gilgan Centre for Research and Learning.
Final stages of construction are underway for the 21-storey, 750,000 square ft., world-class facility scheduled to open September 2013. The Peter Gilgan Centre for Research and Learning will bring together over 2,000 SickKids scientists, trainees and child health research staff. The state-of-the-art laboratory and learning facilities will encourage research collaboration among scientific and clinical perspectives to accelerate discoveries and foster new knowledge. The Gilgan Centre will be an international game changer for child health.
