Groves Hospital project continues to move forward

(Wellington-Halton Hills) – The news that Stantec Architecture has been selected to lead the
planning, design, and compliance aspects of the new Groves Memorial Community Hospital,
shows that the hospital project is continuing to move forward.

“This is another step forward towards our community’s vision of a new, state-of-the-art hospital
for the 21st century,” Wellington-Halton Hills MPP Ted Arnott said.

Once the planning, design, and compliance requirements are met, Groves Hospital and
Infrastructure Ontario will issue a request for qualifications to design, build, and finance the
hospital project.

“I want to once again express my thanks to everyone involved at Groves, whether they be staff,
volunteers, or supporters,” Mr. Arnott stated. “Groves has a well-deserved reputation of being
the heart of our community.”

For more than a decade, Mr. Arnott has advocated at Queen’s Park for a new Groves Hospital.
He raised it countless times in speeches in the House, letters to Ministers, private conversations
and meetings and phone calls to Ministry staff.

When the new hospital was announced just before the 2011 provincial election, Liberal MPP
John Wilkinson publicly acknowledged the role Mr. Arnott had played in securing the approval.
