Crews will be working and operating equipment overnight from January 21 to 25, 2025, to take advantage of the forecasted warm weather this week.
What to expect:
Work will be underway from 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM on these days to backfill the north side of the building. This involves hauling material from the stockpile on site and placing and compacting the material. There will be no hauling material to the site, so there will be no truck traffic on residential streets. However, the equipment will have backup alarms active for safety reasons, which may cause some noise.
The City of Dawson Creek has given Graham Design-Builders permission to work through the night and outside the typical bylaw quiet times.
Why are we doing this?
By taking advantage of the warm overnight temperatures, we aim to complete a significant amount of work in a short period of time which will hopefully benefit the overall project schedule.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to complete this important project.

Tree clearing
Share Tree clearing on Facebook Share Tree clearing on Twitter Share Tree clearing on Linkedin Email Tree clearing link
Existing trees will be removed from the site of the new Dawson Creek & District Hospital in order to clear space for the start of construction. An analysis was done on the existing trees to determine if they would survive being transplanted to another location and it was determined that some of them were unhealthy and others likely wouldn't survive, so they have to be removed.
Recognizing that greenspace is an important element of our community, the new hospital has a sitewide landscape plan with over 80 new and healthy trees and hundreds of local plants which will be planted towards the end of the project.
As part of the project's site preparation, Northern Health relocated the old community garden to a new location further south on Northern Lights College's campus. The grand opening of the community garden was held last year and the garden has been growing rapidly since. This space gives the local community a place and space to get involved in gardening and rent their own garden bed to grow and harvest what they would like.
