Greenpark Group Makes the Largest Philanthropic Gift in Company History to  Help Build Brampton’s New Hospital 

$12 million donation to William Osler Health System Foundation in special dedication to The Carangel  Corporation 

BRAMPTON – William Osler Health System (Osler) and William Osler Health  System Foundation (Osler Foundation) proudly hosted a special celebration at Brampton City Hall to  recognize Greenpark Group’s generous $12 million donation in support of hospital redevelopment in  Brampton. The event was co-hosted by Brampton Mayor, Patrick Brown, alongside leaders from Osler and  Osler Foundation.  

Greenpark Group, led by Founder and CEO, Carlo Baldassarra and his family has made this transformational  gift—the largest in the company’s history—in special dedication to The Carangel Corporation, the  philanthropic arm of Greenpark Group. Named in honour of Carlo and his wife of 61 years, Angela,  Carangel was established to ensure that the communities built by Greenpark have access to quality health  care. These funds will support the transformation of Peel Memorial Centre for Integrated Health and  Wellness (Peel Memorial) into Brampton’s new hospital. 

Carlo Baldassarra, Founder and CEO of Greenpark Group, is an ardent champion of community health care.  “The most important place in any community is the hospital, because without health, nothing else matters.  Everyone needs the hospital at some point in their life, and I am so proud and happy that we are able to support health care for Brampton and the surrounding areas with this gift.” 

Greenpark Group has made significant contributions to Brampton’s residential landscape including the  Professor’s Lake community—one of Mr. Baldassarra’s first projects in the city. Greenpark has also  developed commercial spaces catering to local and national businesses, as well as office buildings that  support professional growth.  

As Osler continues to evolve to meet the increasing health care needs of one of Canada’s most diverse and  fastest-growing regions, the new Peel Memorial Hospital will help advance the community’s health care  capacity and services for decades to come. The hospital will feature a multi-storey patient tower for patients requiring longer hospital stays, with space to accommodate future expansion. Additionally, the facility will  provide new and expanded outpatient clinics, day programs, and expanded seniors care and mental health  and addictions programs for Brampton and the surrounding areas. The new patient tower will also house a  new, purpose-built Emergency Department. 

“Hockey Night in Brampton continues to surpass our expectations each year and this year’s event was  nothing short of extraordinary. The Baldassarras’ donation of $12 million was truly a historic milestone and I  am eternally grateful for the unprecedented support they have shown to our community,” said Brampton  Mayor Patrick Brown. “A gift like this goes a long way to achieve our goal of Brampton’s second hospital and  it is a testament to a collective dedication to enhancing health care in our city. My deepest thanks to The 

Carangel Corporation, the entire Baldassarra family and everyone who contributed and volunteered their  time to make Hockey Night in Brampton 2024 a resounding success.”  

“From building homes, to building communities to now helping to build Brampton’s second hospital, we are  honoured to celebrate Greepark Group, Carlo and Angela Baldassarra and the Baldassarra family as early  champions of the new Peel Memorial with this incredible $12 million gift,” said Ken Mayhew, President and  CEO, William Osler Health System Foundation. “A second hospital is essential for the continued well-being  of our diverse and growing community; this transformational lead gift cements Greenpark Group as an  important part of the 100-year legacy of community support for Peel Memorial Hospital.” 

“Greenpark Group and Osler share the common principle that everyone in our communities has access to  high-quality health care, when and where they need it,” said Dr. Frank Martino, President and CEO, William  Osler Health System. “This generous gift will go a long way to help ensure our world-class physicians and  staff have the facilities and resources to continue delivering the compassionate, close-to-home care our  vibrant community deserves. On behalf of everyone at Osler and the many patients and families who rely on  us for care, we extend our deepest gratitude to Greenpark Group and The Carangel Corporation.”
