The government had previously announced up to C$3m ($2.28m) for the redevelopment of Civic Campus which brings the total amount invested in the project to C$12m ($9.14m).

The redevelopment project will see the hospital equipped to provide expanded services for emergency care and in-patient care.

The facility will also be able to provide services for specialised regional programmes such as trauma, neurosciences and vascular surgery.

Ottawa Hospital chair of the board of governors Katherine Cotton said: “We are thankful for the continued excitement and interest around this project from our staff at the hospital, our government partners, and our community.

“As we move forward, we will continue to engage and to seek solutions that will allow us to build both a 21st-century hospital and a healthier community.”
