On October 12th 1894, a Promenade Concert was held
10/12/2010 at 7:46 AM
as a fundraiser at the Brandon Opera House on Princess Avenue, and Eighth Street for the newly opened General Hospital.
A highlight of the concert was when the Hon J.W. Sifton distributed medals, and Diplomas to the first local School of Nursing graduates, being Miss Emma Cranston, and Miss Florence Tyers.
They immediately received offers for hospital positions in Fargo, and Calgary respectively.
