Ottawa Team 1 (Three Missions Completed)
The first Ottawa team was created in 2015, led by Dr. Darryl Young, a surgeon from the Queensway Carleton Hospital, and Dr. Mark Steeves, a surgeon from Montfort Hospital. As fellow alumni of Memorial University of Newfoundland, Drs. Young and Steeves knew Dr. Furey and were inspired by his work in Haiti. Members soon joined the Ottawa team from the Queensway Carleton Hospital, Kemptville District Hospital, CHEO and Montfort. Many of the members have participated in multiple missions since then, and have been actively working to build awareness for Team Broken Earth in the Nation's Capital. The local momentum in Ottawa has really grown, especially amongst the orthopedic community, which has led to considerable interest and more teams being created across the country. The organization now has over 1000 volunteers nationally!

Due to overwhelming enthusiasm and support for Broken Earth among the local orthopedic community, a second Ottawa team was formed in 2018 that completed its first mission to Haiti in January 2019. This team is led by Dr. Eugene Wai and Dr. Robert Feibel, and is primarily made up of staff from The Ottawa Hospital, CHEO and the Kemptville District Hospital.
This was the 4th mission to Haiti for team Ottawa!
