$50 million announced for planning Kenora’s new Hospital
The 2025 provincial budget allocates $50 million to advance the planning of a new regional hospital in Kenora, moving the project into the detailed design and procurement phase. The Lake of the Woods District Hospital (LWDH) will partner with Infrastructure Ontario (IO) to select a project delivery model and establish key milestones. IO will also support site due diligence and the procurement of consultants for detailed design.
Staff, patients, and family representatives will participate in user groups to provide input during the design phase. The public will have several opportunities to share feedback on the hospital and campus of care plans.
