  1. 419,000sqft with less than 70 patient beds. How does that possibly make sense? I don’t work in medicine, but that seems low for the size and price tag…

    I think they’ll also run into issues staffing this facility. I’ve finished a few canoe trips in Moosonee / Moose Factory before, and it’s a pretty rough place. Those remote northern communities aren’t for everyone, especially in the winter.

  2. Having been involved in building a few hospitals, good luck with the price and timeline given the location lol.
