"Our 40th anniversary was not about a big celebration but rather a tribute to what we accomplish together. Thanks to people like Judith Tresidder who sat at community tables so long ago, daring to dream of this facility. I also thank Tracey Curtis, President of the Rotary Club of Guelph. This year marks her club’s 100 years of service in Guelph, one of their projects being the deep support of Hospice Wellington. This Rotary Club and all the Rotary Clubs in Guelph and Wellington have been steadfast friends to Hospice Wellington. We are so proud to have your motto of 'Service Above Self' at work here."

Excerpt from the Rotary Club of Guelph's Centennial Book 2020:

The RCOG has been a huge supporter of Hospice Wellington since its inception in 1980. The support was in the form of financial contributions and volunteer time. Rotarians volunteered at the original facility on Speedvale Avenue and in driving clients to and from this facility. To help the organization's growth, the RCOG provided $250,000 generated through sales of the Gift of Wings book in the mid-1990s. This was later matched with another $250,000 from Dream Home revenues.

Fundraising for a new facility began in 2005 with a groundbreaking ceremony occurring in 2009. The new facility on Scottsdale Drive was opened in 2010.
