Safety First (and Always!): How We’re Building the UHNBC Parkade with Care

Construction of the brand-new parkade kicked off on April 22, 2024, and we’re on track to wrap things up by fall 2025. But while we’re busy building an 8-level parking structure with 471 much-needed stalls, there’s one thing we never put on the back burner: safety.

Here’s how we’re keeping things secure, smooth, and stress-free on-site:

🔐 Only the cool kids (with ID) get in

  • Only authorized personnel are allowed in, and everyone checks in and out like clockwork.

☀️ Morning huddles with a purpose

  • Every day starts with a quick safety chat.
  • We cover everything from weather hazards to equipment checks.

🦺 Gear up

  • Helmets? Check. Steel-toed boots? Check. High-vis vests? You bet.
  • Everyone on-site is suited up to stay safe.

👀 Safety Officers on patrol

  • Our safety pros are always on the move, making sure everything’s up to code and running smoothly.

🚦 Traffic control

  • With a hospital close by, we’ve got clear signage and barriers to keep vehicles and pedestrians away from the site.

🆘 Ready for anything

  • First aid kits? Stocked. Emergency plans? Practiced.
  • Our crew knows exactly what to do if something unexpected happens.

🏗️ Building for the future, safely

This parkade isn’t just a place to park, it’s a launchpad for the upcoming acute care tower and a big step forward for health care in Northern BC. By keeping safety front and center, we’re making sure the journey from blueprint to reality is as smooth as possible.

Stay tuned!
We’ll keep sharing updates as we go, so you can follow along as this exciting project takes shape.
