The Kenora General Hospital (pictured here) was an amalgamation of Kenora’s two hospitals of the time – the St. Joseph Hospital and the Royal Jubilee Hospital. The legal amalgamation took place on May 1, 1968. This hospital was built incorporating a portion of the Royal Jubilee Hospital building. Looking at this photo, one can tell which part was the old hospital by the brickwork (middle) and see the St. Joseph’s Hospital in the back far left. This photo is estimated to have been taken sometime in the late 1960s. The layout pictured here eventually became known internally as the “1965 layout”.
