Grande Prairie is set to receive a $300,000 investment from the Government of Alberta for projects in Grande Prairie’s QEII Hospital.
Within the recently approved Budget 2024, healthcare stood out as a significant priority for the Tories and includes $4.5 billion of capital funding over three years for health facilities across the province.
The funding comes through the Capital Maintenance and Renewal Program managed by Alberta Infrastructure in partnership with Alberta Health Services. Prior to the budget’s approval, AHS identified projects that prioritized the safety and health of patients and staff while preventing infrastructure deterioration.
Grande Prairie MLA Nolan Dyck calls the investment an important one for the well-being of Grande Prairie and Northern Alberta’s healthcare.
“I am very pleased to be a part of a government that recognizes the needs in our medical system and who takes action to ensure we are on the path to continued quality healthcare across Northern Alberta,” he says.
Capital maintenance funding includes more than $500 million to be split across the next three years- $172.3 million in 2024-25, $171.3 million in 2025-26, and $168.7 million in 2026-27.
