$50 million announced for planning Kenora’s new Hospital
The 2025 provincial budget allocated $50 million to advance the All Nations Hospital Project, the project to build a new regional hospital in Kenora. This investment will move the project into the detailed design and procurement phase where a project delivery model is selected, key milestones are established, site due diligence is undertaken and consultants are procured for detailed design.
This stage of the project will also include several opportunities for staff, patient, and family representative feedback on the hospital and campus of care.
Jennifer Dreaver (Executive Director, Kenora Chiefs Advisory), Cheryl O’Flaherty (President & CEO, Lake of the Woods District Hospital) and Andrew Poirier (Mayor, Kenora) attended the province’s 2025 budget announcement in May 2025.
