Construction expected to begin in May

TORONTO - Trillium Health Centre and Infrastructure Ontario have selected EllisDon Corporation to build and finance the expansion and redevelopment of Trillium Health Centre's Mississauga and West Toronto locations.

“We're very pleased that a building team has been selected, paving the way for construction to begin,” said Public Infrastructure Renewal Minister David Caplan. “This project demonstrates that our government is fulfilling its commitment to modernize Ontario hospitals and stimulate economic growth.” 

“Modernizing Ontario's hospital infrastructure is an integral part of improving our health care system,” said George Smitherman, Minister of Health and Long-Term Care. “Our investment will provide facilities that are modern, well-maintained, safe and comfortable for patients.”

The building team, led by EllisDon Corporation, also includes financing arranged by RBC Capital Markets.

“I am very proud of the Trillium Health Centre's major expansion and redevelopment projects that will provide increased access and further benefits to the families living in Etobicoke-Lakeshore,” said Laurel Broten, MPP for Etobicoke-Lakeshore. “These local projects will not only benefit the entire community, but they also serve as an example of our government's commitment to keeping all Ontarians healthy now and well into the future.”

“Trillium is our regional cardiac centre. With seniors being Mississauga's fastest-growing demographic, this project will bring care closer to home for patients, and ease the stress on families,” said Bob Delaney, MPP for Mississauga West. 

The Trillium Health Centre - Mississauga project includes: 

  • a new cardiac catheterization lab 
  • an operating room for cardiac surgery 
  • additional cardiovascular intensive care beds 
  • additional coronary care beds 
  • diagnostic and support services for an increase of up to 135 inpatient beds.

The Trillium Health Centre - West Toronto project includes: 

  • expansion of ambulatory surgical care facilities 
  • redevelopment and expansion of the Urgent Care Centre 
  • creation of a cancer detection and treatment facility 
  • creation of healing gardens 
  • expansion of a new South entrance.

“We are thrilled to see that this exciting redevelopment - the biggest in Trillium history - is about to begin,” said new Trillium Health Centre President and Chief Executive Officer Janet Davidson. “These changes will play a large role in moving us closer to Trillium's goal of transforming the health care experience for our patients.” 

Infrastructure Ontario will work with Trillium Health Centre to redevelop the hospital, which will remain publicly owned, publicly controlled and publicly accountable. Infrastructure Ontario is a Crown corporation dedicated to managing some of the province's larger and more complex infrastructure renewal projects - ensuring they are built on time and on budget. 

This project is guided by principles outlined in the Province's Building a Better Tomorrow framework, which ensures public ownership of core assets such as hospitals, schools, and water and wastewater facilities. The Trillium Health Centre project is one of many infrastructure projects being upgraded and modernized under ReNew Ontario, the government's five-year, $30-billion plus public infrastructure investment plan.
