The long-awaited Willow Square Continuing Care Centre in Fort McMurray has finally been built and residents should be able to move in within months.
The Department of Infrastructure announced Monday that construction on the facility has finished and the building has been handed over to Alberta Health Services to finish outfitting the building with medical equipment, supplies and furniture.
The $102-million building was completed under budget, said Minister of Infrastructure Prasad Panda. The project faced many delays, including the 2016 Horse River wildfire, 2020 April flood, and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
