The Ontario government has announced a $21m investment to expand William Osler Health System in Canada.
The funding is part of the government’s plan to build more resilient health care system.
It will be utilised for transforming Peel Memorial into a new inpatient hospital with a new emergency department and for expanding cancer care at Brampton Civic Hospital.
Peel Memorial and Brampton Civic are part of William Osler Health System.
About $18m will be used for Peel Memorial’s transformation into an inpatient hospital with a new emergency department.
The new investment is an addition to the $18m funding which was announced by the Ontario government last year.
