As Bruce Power President and CEO Mike Rencheck prepares to depart the company, a final major donation has been announced with him at the helm.
Bruce Power is donating $150,000 to the Huron Shores Hospice, an organization Rencheck's wife Carol also supports as Chair of its Board of Directors.
The money came from $75,000 raised at Rencheck's retirement event on June 19 alongside another $75,000 from 38 industry partner companies as part of the Bruce Power’s 2024 Supplier Sponsorship Program.
The Bruce Power Supplier Sponsorship Program aligns the company’s vendor partners, raising more than $650,000 in 2024 to support local, provincial and national non-profit organizations that focus on Indigenous youth, health and wellness organizations, Canadian veterans, community initiatives, and hospital foundations.
“Being able to make a significant donation to Huron Shores Hospice on behalf of Bruce Power, unions and our supplier partners is a remarkable way to bring my tenure to a close,” said Rencheck, who officially relinquishes his role on June 29, but will remain as Bruce Power’s Executive Vice Chair. “The Hospice provides an invaluable service in our communities and does so with such grace for people and their families.”
“Mike and Carol have both given a great deal of time and effort in helping Huron Shores Hospice provide services and programs to our communities and I’d like to thank them and wish them the best,” added Cathy Herbert, Executive Director of the Hospice. “Bruce Power and its supplier partners continue to show great support and we’re incredibly humbled by this donation.”
