There has been talk for years about Calgary needing a cyclotron. especially when the shortage of Isotopes happened. Don't forget we are getting the centralized Drug facility here first. As much as I dislike Danie she can't take credit for it either. She will make YEG pay for going full NDP. So expect a new hospital in 10 years.

As is the next round of schools still goes to Calgary. Calgary gets 4 this next package.

Any idea if the new Edmonton schools that were announced have been tendered for construction?
 
Well at least Trochu is getting their own version of a hospital…..another East Central Chemtrail Smytty Town getting their own before we get ours…….

So the Southside hospital plan has been completely cancelled? I thought it was just still on hold?
According to a post on facebookTony Caterina just posted this morning his focus if elected major is a Northside hospital.

The South Edmonton Hospital is not cancelled AFAIK, and the northside already has the Royal Alex, not to mention the Sturgeon Hospital in St Albert. I think Caterina is yanking your chain.

A link to Caterina's FB post would be nice.

The Northside has Royal Alex, the busiest and oldest hospital in the province. One hospital for half the city.

The south side has Grey Nuns, Miseracordia, U of A and Stollery, not to mention the Leduc Community hospital in Leduc. The fact that the new hospital was set for the southside was a political gambit based on the competitiveness of the South West ridings. Caterina is speaking beyond the scope of the post he is running for, but he ain't wrong about the desperate need for a hospital in North Edmonton.
 
The North Side also has the Northeast Community Health Centre. I think that, at the very least, South Edmonton could benefit from a similar facility at the site of the proposed hospital, as a first stage. In the NW, I wonder if Woodcroft could be expanded.

Correction: The Misericordia is in the west end, almost across 170 St from WEM. So it hardly services the southside nor the northside.

Misericordia's quick access via the whitemud means its serves a large chunk of the SW, and will continue to do so even when/if the new south hospital is built.

I also want to mention that the Royal Alex needing replacement/rehab was identified as a core need back in Redford's time and Prentice even prioritized funding it while cutting other things. It was one of the first things cut by Notley in favor of redirecting the money to the potential South Hospital for political reasons.

Edmonton in the 21st century has a long history of new hospitals being a political football, and nothing to show for it. At this point we realistically could use a couple more. The fact that the last one was built when our population was about half what it is now is shameful.
 
We may never see another hospital built here in the next 10 years. Grey Nus will get some upgrades when out-patients moves to the new Covenant wellness centre in September but not much else. Covenant will also build a new wellness centre at the Miz and at least 3 other locations.

We see the UCP keep saying money for planning but building may never come. Thats next elections' sparkly bits.
