During construction, the project plans to minimise disruptions and offer alternative parking for employees and visitors.

To execute the project, Prince Albert Grand Council is collaborating with the government and the Saskatchewan Health Authority, and offering feedback on the facility’s design.

PCL will engage with local and indigenous businesses and trades during the construction phase.

Saskatchewan Health Authority chief operating officer Derek Miller said: “As work moves forward on the Victoria Hospital in Prince Albert, staff, patients, and families will begin to notice changes at the hospital site.

“These changes signify the progress of the project, which will expand services for Prince Albert and the surrounding area, and our commitment to the public to deliver quality care close to home.”
