Unique to this renovation will be a newly established Indigenous Services Suite that will be adjacent to the Emergency Department and accessible to all patients.

The government is set to invest $28 million in the project through a grant established through the Ontario “Your Health” plan.

All updates to the project will be available through the Reimagine BCHS website.
