Construction of the Chigamik Waypoint Community Health Hub has Begun
|
|
Chigamik and Waypoint are pleased to announce that the construction of the new Health Hub on Bayshore Drive in Midland has begun!
The development plan includes the following:
- New modern medical building has an innovative design and site location that uses the hill that is part of the property to not impose upon the residential community.
- A safe and secure building and property that welcomes those using the health services, neighbours and the community.
- Design aspects include a stunning building façade, nighttime lighting, sidewalks and landscaping that complement the adjacent parkland and the new proposed waterfront development across the street.
- Local, regional and provincial construction and building suppliers are involved with this project helping to provide work and creating economic spin off for our area and region.
- Waypoint and Chigamik continue to work through the approval process required by the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care.
- We are working towards the new building being open to the community in December of 2018.
Stay tuned as we continue to keep our community up to date!
