Along with a new St.Paul's replacement in DT + new ones spread throughout the province......FSJ included.

As much I despise Smitty - they will announce a new Stollery in the new year - this isn't news and it will be at the U of A. So we will have the new Stollery worth - my guess - $2.5B + the new NAIT trades building will start in '25 - worth - my guess - $450M + student housing. So just out pure necessity - Smitty will give some bucks to YEG starting next year. I'm also surmising Ben Stelter's proton facility ($120M) will be built in the Stollery.

Hey, it isn't news because it hasn't been announced. More than once in history someone has been certain a government would do something, but it hasn't happened. So I wouldn't count my chickens until it is and even then ...

What necessity? She won an election without a single seat in Edmonton. These things may happen because they are good ideas, but I wouldn't get ahead of myself just yet.

Brother is on the St Paul's Project. FN big. There were 22 new or expanded hospitals in BC

For goodness sake the last major hospital built here was over 30 years ago. There will be an election in a few years so hopefully the SW hospital or something similar will be announced then or soon after that.

It is absurd to think about considering how much the population of Edmonton has increased since that time.

Not in defence of this, but the medical world has changed with many services being provided in new or different ways.

I've worked on dozens of projects mostly with Interior Health but also Fraser Health and Island Health and they were all my favourite clients. They were more interested in the most qualified consultants and contractors rather than strictly the fee, they gave us almost all the information we needed to do our design, understood the risks of not being able to give us information, and gave us realistic timelines. The amount of investments they've put into upgrading, expanding, and replacing hospitals even under the old progressive conservatives I mean BC Liberals have been nothing short of astonishing.

Agreed. I was a frequent donor until they chose to move all the way down there. I've made sure to communicate that to any real person I can every time I'm contacted about it. No consideration for anyone on the northside at all. I have O- blood but I guess because it comes from the northside they don't want my tainted donation.

Same. I sent them a message.

Perhaps to some degree, but apparently not in Red Deer or other places in Alberta that have had new hospitals built more recently.

I think the last real hospitals finished were the Cancer Clinic in Calgary and maybe High Prairies hospital. I don't recall any others since Calgary Campus. Been la few upgrades and renos. The Emerg at Miz. Rockie got a surgical addition. Ft Mack had the envelope upgrade, The Emergence Ambulatory care were done long before the fire. Lethbridge had some upgrades as well. .

Yes, I see Calgary mentioned a couple of times. Also Fort Saskatchewan and Grande Prairie got newer facilities in the recent past, both also growing communities I believe.

Ft Sask was before Calgary South as for GP. That was built but not fitted out then rebuilt and still not fully built out. But Strathcona health centre will get some acute patient spaces next.
