North Bay facility
now under construction
Construction started this week at
the new 388-bed North Bay
Regional Health Centre.
As a three-storey general hospital, the
new North Bay Regional Health Centre's
redevelopment project will be significantly
larger and equipped to offer more services
than the present two-site operation.
It will also include the new Northeast
Mental Health Centre, a two-storey facility
that will recreate a home-like, village environment.
The new Northeast Mental Health
Centre, which will be linked to the general
hospital, will have capacity for up to 113
specialized mental health beds and serve all
of northeast Ontario.
Plenary Health will be paid $551 million
in today's dollars over 30 years to
build, finance and maintain the new
720,000 square foot facility.
Just over half of that represents the pure
construction cost.
During the three-year construction period,
the project will employ an average of
200 workers on site daily.
Design features provide a healing
atmosphere throughout the facility with lots
of natural light provided by windows that
overlook the natural environmental setting
of the 80-acre site.
The North Bay Regional Health Centre
is a partnership between the North Bay
General Hospital and the Northeast Mental
Health Centre.
The project represents the first time in
Canada that an acute hospital and a specialized
mental health centre will co-locate on
the same site.

Power project loss to hurt: SNC-Lavalin
MONTREAL
Global engineering firm SNC-
Lavalin Group Inc.says its
financial results will be hurt by
a loss on a major power project now that a
key supplier is in bankruptcy proceedings,
but SNC-Lavalin still expects to report
higher net income for the first quarter.
First-quarter results are due to be
released May 4 and more details about the
unspecified power project are to be released
at that time.
The Montreal-based firm's power division,
which had been expected to make a
positive contribution to overall profits in
2007, now is expected to have an operating
loss in 2007.
"Considering the recognition of the two
events in the first quarter, namely the gain
from the sale of SNC TEC and the forecasted
loss on this power project, SNC-
Lavalin's management expects an increase
in net income, excluding Highway 407, for
the year 2007 compared to 2006," the firm.
