    Province Announces Funding for a New Collingwood Hospital

    Date:

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    Collingwood, ON [12 December  2024] – Deputy Premier and Minister of Health Sylvia Jones announced today $95.5 million to support the build of a new Collingwood General and Marine Hospital (Province Announces Funding for a New Collingwood Hospital).

    The new hospital, planned for Poplar Sideroad, will have increased capacity with 132 fully private inpatient beds and expanded access to key services, including intensive care, emergency, diagnostic imaging, and operating suites.

    “This is a monumental day in Collingwood’s history. The new hospital will transform patient care and ensure our residents can receive high-quality care close to home”, said Mayor Hamlin. “We have been working tirelessly to secure this new hospital and I am thrilled to say we did it,” said Mayor Hamlin. “I am grateful to Premier Ford and Deputy Premier Jones for this essential investment in our region’s future.”

    The Town of Collingwood has shown its commitment to the hospital redevelopment by allocating $3.9M from the proceeds of the Hydro utility sale and transferring reserve funds. In addition, the Town secured the lands on Poplar Sideroad for the hospital as part of the community benefits obtained from a developer through the Ministerial Zoning Order.

    The Town of Collingwood extends its gratitude to the community leaders and stakeholders who have been instrumental in championing, fundraising, and advocating for the hospital redevelopment. The CGMH Board of Directors, CGMH Foundation, MPP Brian Saunderson’s office, current and past Collingwood Council, and municipalities in the South Georgian Bay Region have all worked relentlessly to raise funds and elevate the profile of this imperative project.

    “Thank you to all of those who made this happen. We look forward to continuing to work collaboratively with CGMH and the South Georgian Bay Regional Mayors and Councils on the next steps for this project,” said Mayor Hamlin.

    For up-to-date information on the hospital redevelopment, visit yourfuturehospital.com.
