According to Yukon Hospitals, the expansion project will also include the development of the MRI facility.

Yukon Health and Social Services minister Mike Nixon said: "Yukoners are already seeing the benefits from phase one of the hospital’s expansion through the successful introduction of a new MRI programme.

"Thanks to the efforts of the community, the hospital and the government, we are able to provide more advanced healthcare here in the territory."

PCL was selected with partner CEI Architecture as the preferred proponent for the next phase of the expansion project, noted Yukon Hospitals.
