Premier Eby tours progress at the new Surrey hospital and BC Cancer Centre construction site

Premier David Eby was in Surrey today. At around 10 a.m., he toured the new Surrey Hospital and BC Cancer Centre, being built near 180 Street and James Hill Drive in Surrey.

He held technical discussions with trades team and the hospital representatives regarding construction works and the hospital.

Speaking to the media after the visit, Premier said “the last time I came to this place, this seemed like a big hole in the ground, and today the construction work of the hospital is progressing in the right direction.”

The Premier, while explaining the information gathered from the sites during today's visit, said that trade teams are working closely with doctors and specialists to ensure that the construction work is only done once and it gets completed keeping in mind the needs of the families and patients.

He said it would be a very high-tech hospital and cancer centre.

Premier added, “the hospital would extend its reach beyond its walls into the community.”

Premier said the hospital reflects the growth that is taking place in Surrey.
