The holidays are just around the corner and everyone deserves a little break!
Our project team members are taking some much needed time off after a busy year of major milestones. They'll be spending time with their families, celebrating the holidays, and re-charging for the new year - and we hope you get to do the same! Work on site will also slow down between December 22 and January 2.
We wish you and your loved ones a happy and healthy holiday season and new year!
Stay tuned for more updates on the DCDH Project in 2024!
The Project Management Office decorated their construction Christmas tree to get involved in the holiday celebrations at the hospital.

Tree clearing

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.
