About The Project

The Early Works phase of the project started in spring 2024 with the construction of a 471-space parkade. Following this, the services at the Northern Interior Health Unit (NIHU) will be relocated to make way for the construction of the acute care tower on that site. Upon completion, the 11-story facility will more than double the number of beds available for cardiac, mental health and substance use, and surgical services. The parkade is expected to be completed by fall 2025, and the NIHU will move by spring 2026. Construction of the acute care tower will begin in fall 2026, with plans to open for patients in winter 2031.
