ED+PCL Healthcare Partners to build Canada's hospital project

Yahoo7 days ago
EllisDon and PCL Construction (ED+PCL Healthcare Partners) has won a C$13.9bn ($10.15bn) contract to design, construct, finance and maintain The Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital and Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children in Canada.
The facility is set to serve Mississauga and surrounding regions.
The contract was awarded by Infrastructure Ontario (IO), the Ontario provincial government, and Trillium Health Partners (THP), which caters to 1.7 million patients a year.
The new 22-storey facility, encompassing 2.8 million square feet, is set to replace the current Mississauga Hospital.
It is designed to meet the evolving healthcare needs of the community and will feature more than 950 beds and house Ontario's inaugural women's and children's hospital.
The facility will be equipped with modern technology and infrastructure to adhere to the latest standards in infection prevention and control.
In addition to advanced diagnostic imaging facilities, the hospital will include a new pharmacy, clinical laboratory, and an emergency department.
The design also incorporates two levels of underground parking, which are not included in the hospital's total square footage.
Substantial preparatory work, such as utilities and road realignment, has already been finished on-site during the DPA stage.
THP president and CEO Karli Farrow said: 'The Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital and the Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children will serve as state-of-the-art hubs for advanced, digitally connected care – seamlessly linked across the health system, from family doctors to home and long-term care – to put people at the centre.
'Through deep collaboration and shared purpose between THP, IO and ED+PCL Healthcare Partners, we are prioritising the patient and provider experience while maximising efficiency and cost effectiveness.'
Construction is scheduled to begin in mid-2025, with the transformation of the site leading up to the expected completion date in April 2033.
"ED+PCL Healthcare Partners to build Canada's hospital project" was originally created and published by Hospital Management, a GlobalData owned brand.

Saskatchewan, Ottawa to boost farming program in response to trade issues and drought

REGINA — Saskatchewan's government and Ottawa say they're providing additional support to a farm income stabilization program in response to trade issues and dry conditions. The province says farmers who use AgriStability will see an increase in their compensation rate from 80 per cent to 90 per cent, resulting in larger payouts if eligible margins decline. It says the maximum payment cap is doubling from $3 million to $6 million per operation, and livestock producers will see a new inventory valuation method for feed used on the farm. Federal Agriculture Minister Heath MacDonald says the changes aim to give farmers more protection. Areas of southern Saskatchewan and Alberta are in a drought, which has decimated crop yields. Farmers are also dealing with trade uncertainty due to tariffs from China and the United States. This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 21, 2025.

Over 260,000 pools sold across Canada under recall after reports of nine deaths in U.S.

Health Canada has issued a recall notice for more than 260,000 above-ground swimming pools sold in Canada since the early 2000s after nine kids drowned in the United States. Another five million pools are under a recall advisory in the U.S. The notices cover a range of Bestway, Intex Recreation and Polygroup pools sold by major retailers as far back as 2002. Health Canada and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission say the pools have compression straps running along the outside of the product that 'may create a foothold' for small children and allow them to access the water unattended. That can pose a serious drowning risk, the regulators warn, and they're asking consumers to contact the companies for a repair. To date, the CPSC believes nine children across the U.S. have drowned after gaining access to these now-recalled pools in this way. Those deaths occurred between 2007 and 2022, involving children between the ages of 22 months and three years old. Health Canada said in its recall that the pool companies have not received any reports of incidents or injuries in Canada. Consumers in possession of these pools are urged to immediately contact Bestway, Intex and/or Polygroup to receive the free repair kit — which will consist of a rope to replace the compression strap. Owners of these pools should otherwise ensure that small children cannot access the pool without supervision, regulators note — and could alternatively drain the pool until the repair is made. All of the pools being recalled are 48 inches or taller — and can be identified by brand and model names listed on both the CPSC and Health Canada's recall notices. Sales of the pools ranged by model and location, but date as far back to 2002 and as recently as 2025. About 5 million of these now-recalled pools were sold across the U.S. — including both online and in-stores at major retailers like Walmart, Target, Lowe's, Costco and Amazon. Another 266,000 were sold in Canada. -With files from The Canadian Press The Associated Press Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data
