We are deeply saddened by the passing of Douglas (Doug) Leggat, a beloved pillar of the Burlington community and beyond.

Doug exemplified unwavering commitment, strength, leadership, and generosity. Together with his wife Maryella, their philanthropy has made a lasting and transformative impact on the health and well-being of our community. 

For more than forty years, Doug tirelessly championed support for the Joseph Brant Hospital Foundation, leading and participating in all major fundraising campaigns that have helped to transform Joseph Brant Hospital into the leading-class facility it is today. 

Doug’s legacy of compassion and care will endure for generations, and we are profoundly grateful for all he has given to better our community. We extend our deepest sympathies to Maryella, Sue, Brian, and Leighan, and all of Doug’s family and friends during this difficult time. He will be greatly missed.
