The Honourable Andrew Furey, Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, will participate in a beam-signing ceremony to mark the end of steel construction on the west coast hospital in Corner Brook tomorrow (Friday, October 16).

Premier Furey will be joined by the Honourable Gerry Byrne, Minister of Immigration, Skills and Labour and MHA for Corner Brook, and Cynthia Davis, CEO of Western Health.

The ceremony will take place at the site of the new west coast hospital near the intersection of Lewin Parkway and Wheelers Road, beginning at 10:00 a.m.

As this site is an active construction site, CSA-approved protective footwear will be required. Media and participants will also be required to wear masks to help prevent the spread of Covid-19 and follow physical distancing and other health guidelines. Safety vests, glasses, and hard hats will be provided.
