Site Tour with Mayor and Council / August Progress Photos

Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting the City of Dawson Creek’s Mayor, Council, Fire Chief, and Deputy Fire Chief for a tour of the new Dawson Creek & District Hospital. The visit was filled with excitement as everyone saw first-hand the remarkable progress made on the new facility.

They began with a walk around the site to see the transformation made from a bare construction zone just over a year ago, to a developing building now. Throughout the tour, they were able to visualize the department layouts and future patient rooms that will soon serve the community. The Fire Chief and Deputy Fire Chief were particularly interested in the safety features being incorporated into the design, ensuring the hospital will be a secure environment for both patients and staff.

Everyone was thrilled to see how far the project has come in just over a year and expressed their excitement for what's to come for the future of health care in Dawson Creek.

Check out the photos below to see the work that is underway on exterior and interior framing throughout the building and the installation of structural steel on Level 3.
