It's on time -- and -- appears to be on budget -- that's the word from Supply and Services Minister Ed Doherty on the status of the 50-million dollar expansion of the Regional's emergency department and a new cancer treatment wing.
Doherty says the new cancer wing will be completed in the spring of next year while the emergency department will have its official opening a year from now.
The new emergency department will include a six truck ambulance bay -- it's also being built to handle the future expansion of a second floor on the new addition.
