Move in dates for new hospitals in Courtenay and Campbell River announced
The North Island Hospitals Project has been under construction since the summer of 2014, and will be complete this Fall. This photo shows the Campbell River hospital under construction in 2016.
Construction of the North Island Hospitals Project is now substantially complete, and training, education and orientation of approximately 2,000 clinicians has now begun. Training is expected to take 3-4 months, and be complete in August of this year. The opening dates for the new hospitals have been set as September 10 for Campbell River and October 1 for the Comox Valley.

72 lot single family development planned for Powell River
Referrals are currently underway for a proposed multi-phase 72-lot single family development along Joyce Avenue east of the Powell River hospital. The city received a rezoning application for the project in January. The application would rezone the land from A2 to RM1, and the application includes a proposal for 12-lots in Phase 1. Once referrals are complete, city staff will submit a report to council to initiate first and second reading.
