Richard Goldbloom: Ruth Goldbloom

IWK Health Centre Dept: Goldbloom is the woman most associated with the creation of Canada s National Immigration Museum at Pier 21 in Halifax, but she was also an enthusiastic supporter of the IWK Health Centre, where her husband Dr. Richard Goldbloom has treated thousands of children over the years, according to CTV. Porter recalled just a few of the projects and charities that Goldbloom threw herself into and the many friends and admirers of longtime Nova Scotia philanthropist Ruth Goldbloom are reflecting on her life and legacy after she passed away Wednesday from cancer at the age of 88. It was just passion all the way, from the time she put her feet on the floor in the morning, says close friend Sherry Porter. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
