TIMMINS, ONT. — A renovation and expansion project is in the works for Timmins and District Hospital’s emergency department.
The hospital will renovate and add over 27,000 square feet to the existing emergency department, expanding it up to four times its current size, states a release.
In 2025-26, Timmins and District Hospital will receive $1.89 million through the Health Infrastructure Renewal Fund, including $1.5 million in one-time funding as an “Exceptional Circumstance Project Grant.”
Once complete, the project will include:
