It’s a historic day in Saskatchewan as dozens gather to celebrate the official opening of the first dedicated children’s hospital in the province. Patients will be moved in at a later date.
The Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital was named after the businessman and philanthropist made the largest one-time donation in Saskatchewan’s history to a charitable organization – $50 million.
The total cost of the hospital is expected to come in around $285 million.
A ceremony to mark the opening will take place around 10:30 a.m. and include speeches from Premier Scott Moe and Mr. Pattison.
