Work on the project involves demolition of the existing facility and construction of the new hospital.

The new hospital is being constructed on the southwest corner of the site to the left of the main entrance of the current hospital.

It will have 25 beds, up from the 20 beds at the existing facility, along with additional meeting spaces, rooms, and recreational facilities.

Slated to be completed in late fall next year, the new Seven Sisters facility is expected to be nearly twice the size of the existing facility, allowing more people to receive care.

British Columbia Health Minister Adrian Dix said: “The new Seven Sisters will ensure that when people in northwestern B.C. need mental-health support, they get timely, high-quality care close to home, which is crucial to their recovery.

“We are committed to continuing to build a strong health-care service network in the region, which will help build resilient communities.”
