How a $3-million gift to Chez Doris is bringing Mary Fulford’s mission full circle. Pam McLernon, left, a member of the Fulford Residence board of directors, with Rev. Mary Irwin-Gibson, who until her retirement in September was Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Montreal and in that capacity served as ex-officio president of the Fulford Residence board of directors, as an announcement is being made at a Chez Doris reception of a gift of $3 million from the Fulford Residence board to Chez Doris. Irwin-Gibson says she is certain Mary Fulford "would be thrilled" about the Fulford gift to Chez Doris.
