A Terrace Redi-mix truck and employee on the MMH site. In less than a year, since the start of construction of the new Mills Memorial Hospital in Terrace, more than 80 regional suppliers and contractors, with the majority being local, have secured worked on the site.
A list of the regional contractors to date has been added to this MMH Let's Talk site under Documents and under the Links sections.
Work contracts have been diverse, from trucking to equipment rental, air quality monitoring to food and building supplies, paving to flagging, steel work to geotechnical services, and more.
Workers on site
While the number of workers on site fluctuate regularly depending on what work is being completed, currently there are approximately 130 workers are on site.
The percentage of local and regional workers also fluctuates. Currently, just over 40% of workers on site are from the region. In November 2021, it was more than 60%.
The majority of the workers from the Terrace area are employed by PacAlta, a subsidiary company of PCL. Others are working for subcontractors on site.
Just under 20% of workers on site are apprentices. And 5% of workers on site identify as Indigenous.
As the project progresses, the number of out-of-town workers on site is expected to increase as more specialized skills, not always locally available locally, are needed.

Mills Memorial Hospital build breathes new life into Terrace health care
By Grant Cameron
It’s just before 4 p.m. on a late-February afternoon at an expansive and very muddy construction site in Terrace, B.C., where a new state-of-the-art Mills Memorial Hospital is being built. Two lofty yellow tower cranes hover over the worksite. Below, a cement truck is delivering concrete.
In January, waterproofing and backfilling of the below-ground floor was completed. Most of the ground level of the massive concrete structure, pad footings, columns and walls are complete. To date, 10,000 square metres of slabs have been installed and 8,500 square metres of concrete has been poured.
Work on the $623-million project began in summer 2021 and the targeted completion date is September 2024. The new hospital is replacing an existing one on the same site.

A new drone video, shot at the end January 2022 by Terrace's All North Consultant Limited, shows construction progress over the winter months. In the video, you can see work starting on the main floor of the new hospital. The video also shows how much bigger the new hospital is compared to the current facility. Despite being extremely cold and windy (close to -15 degrees Celsius for a couple weeks in December!), work stayed on track and the project remains on schedule.

What's happening inside those tents?

Wondering what those green and yellow tents are?
They are there to shelter the work on site from the elements. Concrete needs to stay as dry as possible while it's curing. Those colourful tents are protecting it from the snow and wind.
Fun fact The concrete on the Mills Memorial Hospital site can be poured and set at temperatures as low as -15 Celsius and maintain its strength and integrity.
