Background

The fund is established in Rod’s name based on the beliefs and values he felt were important and causes he supported. He understood and valued the health and well-being of his family and was very sympathetic towards other families who were not so fortunate. He gave what he felt his family could afford to support sick children by donating annually to the IWK and encouraged others to do the same.

Who We Are

The fund is governed by a committee of family and friends of Rod, and other interested people. The committee will have a balance of family and non-family members with the goal of maintaining an unbiased view point and being able to provide the most benefit for our cause. Overall, the committee should be made up of not less than 6 and not more than 10 people at any time.

In 2023 the Harquail family turned the fund over to the family of Yves Meunier-Pelletier and the Tournament was renamed to The Yves M-Pelletier Classic 3v3. The Fund however will remain the “Rod Harquail Fund”.

Present committee members:

  • President: Normand Pelletier
  • Vice President: Jason Bernatchez
  • Treasurer: Linda Meunier
  • Secretary: Karine Meunier-Pelletier
  • Committee Members: Jean-Marc Diotte, Peter Thorne, René Haché, Kevin Fox, & Michel Forest

    The committee is made up of strictly volunteers and no committee members receive any monetary compensation for any activities related to the fund.

    The Rod Harquail Fund is an incorporated non-profit organization in the Province of New Brunswick.

Our Sources of Funds

Our primary source of funds is an annual donation from activities in conjunction with the Annual Yves M-Pelletier Classic 3 vs 3 Hockey Tournament held in Dalhousie and run by the Dalhousie Old Time and Youngtimers Hockey Clubs. Other fundraisers may be held as opportunities arise.

What We Fund

The fund is intended for the benefit of sick or injured children in our region. This includes expenses incurred by the families of sick or injured children for medical treatment, testing, equipment, or related travel expenses so that they may receive the best treatment possible.
