Ontario Premier Doug Ford to visit Sudbury on Monday
Ontario Premier Doug Ford will be in Sudbury on Monday, his office says.
A media advisory stating Ford will be holding a news conference at 2 p.m. Oct. 28 was released Sunday afternoon.
He will be talking to the media after the news conference, the media advisory said.
No information about the topic or where it will be held was provided, but dignitaries will be gathering Monday afternoon for the grand opening of Phase 1 for St. Joseph's Continuing Care Centre Lasalle site, next to the Canada Revenue Agency building at the corner of Lasalle Boulevard and Notre Dame Avenue.
"The grand opening marks the completion of Phase 1 of the new rehabilitation hospital, which will provide critical care to older adults living with frailty throughout the region," St. Joseph's Continuing Care Centre said in a media advisory Oct. 15.
"The event will include a tour of the facility and the opportunity to hear from local and provincial leaders about the importance of this new healthcare development."
Construction for the new 72-bed facility began earlier this year and 36 patients from the temporary site at the Clarion Hotel are expected to take occupancy with the completion of the first phase.
Sudbury Mayor Paul Lefebvre and Ontario health critic Nickel Belt MPP France Gelinas are expected to be joined by the province's health minister and deputy premier Sylvia Jones for the opening.
Phase 2 is expected to be complete next fall.
