Leaving a legacy of hope
Ian rowe andrea horwath

Before Shirley Rowe passed away in 2024, she communicated to her husband, Ian, that she wished to support Indwell’s upcoming Acorn Flats project in Hamilton, our first development designed specifically for families, with affordable, supportive two- and three-bedroom apartments.

To honour her intentions, a gift was set up in her memory.

Even after passing, people can support Indwell by including a bequest in their will, naming Indwell as a beneficiary in their RRSPs or life insurance, or through gifts of securities. These legacy gifts help provide lasting homes, and we’re deeply grateful for this enduring generosity.

Shirley Rowe’s husband, Ian Rowe, converses with Hamilton mayor, Andrea Horwath, at the Acorn Flats Groundbreaking Ceremony, April 2025. About the donation, Ian says, “My beloved late wife Shirley, a registered nurse, devoted herself to the wellness and welfare of others — a living example of Jesus’ second commandment to ‘Love thy neighbour’ (Mark 12:31). She was delighted to learn that Acorn Flats would be dedicated to families.”
