Prince George, B.C.  - It was an emotional Brent Marshall who thanked his staff, Northland's customers, his wife, his business partner, his children and the  staff of Northern Health, for honouring him and his company  by naming the Paediatric wing at the Univeristy Hospital of Northern B.C.,  "The Northland Dodge Paediatric Wing".

The  entrance to the wing is alive with colourful  artwork created by Splash Media and a sign  declaring the wing the Northland Dodge Paediatric wing.  There is also a special plaque  that will be placed within the unit crediting Northland Dodge, Bent Marshall and his family for all their work  and  dedication to the unit.

The honours come after his company  donated  $1.1 million dollars over the past  five years to  various equipment  needs  in the wing.  "I didn't think this  would be such a big deal for me" said Marshall as he fought back the tears "But it really is a big deal and I am so very  honoured."

Two of Marshall's children, Carter and Cassie, helped  unveil the  new arch way art work by tearing down  the brown paper that has been covering the  new  installation.

Dr. Charles Jago,  Chair of Northern Health's Board of Directors thanked  Brent Marshall and his company for their  generous donations saying it is philanthropy that  makes the difference between very good care, and excellent care, because  it allows  for  all the extras which  cannot be provided by  government funding.
