As described on their website, Ronald McDonald House Charities South Central Ontario (RMHCSCO) is part of a network of 15 Ronald McDonald Houses across Canada. Built in 1993 and located next to McMaster Children’s Hospital, RMHCSCO is independently owned and operated by Kid’s Care Oncology Central West Ontario and is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, managed by a small staff team and supported by a full complement of dedicated volunteers. RMHCSCO expanded from their original 15 bedroom home to a 41 bedroom house and reopened in the Spring of 2012 to serve more families in their time of need.
