Advisory
Gift from BMO Financial Group to Establish Chair in Cardiology at

BMO Financial Group to announce

Cardiology which will be used to support
further research and contribute to the understanding of congenital heart
disease and heart function. World-renowned SickKids clinician and researcher,
Dr. Andrew Redington, will be named the inaugural Chair holder. Based
on this gift, Dr. Redington’s group will focus their research on
