The Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital and Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children represent a bold new era in health care and will serve as specialized hubs of cutting-edge care that is digitally connected to the community – from primary care to clinics and long-term care – to put people at the centre.

What makes this hospital different is not just its size — it will be the largest hospital in Canada — but its purpose. Every decision has been made with three guiding principles:

• Smart design that is flexible and efficient
• System integration that connects care across home, hospital and community
• People at the centre of everything we do

This hospital will support every stage of life — from birth to end-of-life — and will be digitally connected to ensure more personalized, preventative, and accessible care. We’re building a model that reimagines how and where care happens, supporting people to stay healthier, avoid hospital where possible, and receive world-class care when they need it most.

The community we serve is rapidly growing, over the next 20 years, no hospital will need more services than Trillium Health Partners.

Once built, The Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital and Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children will be the largest community hospital in Canada and will add more beds, reduce wait times, and bring specialized services for women, children, and families under one roof. With better technology, modern facilities, and more health care workers, we’re creating a system that works for everyone.

We’re building a new hospital to meet the needs of a growing, diverse community and to deliver a new kind of health care. This is more than just new buildings—it’s about transforming care so that no one is left behind.

The Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital and Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children will serve as specialized hubs of cutting-edge care that is digitally connected to the community – from primary care to clinics and long-term care – to put people at the centre.

Significant and Long-Term Economic Benefits

The new hospital is also expected to bolster the local economy and strengthen Mississauga’s position as a leader in attracting and retaining business investment. Combined with the expansion at the future home of The Gilgan Family Queensway Health Centre, these projects will attract 2,400 new health care professionals and over 400 new doctors adding an estimated $1 billion or more to Mississauga’s local economy over 10 years.

Mississauga as a Leading City

The Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital and Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children will be a destination health care centre for the best talent in health care providers, including specialists, researchers, learners. This new hospital will strengthen Mississauga’s position as a leader in attracting and retaining business investment.

This generational investment in the City of Mississauga will deliver a new kind of health care for the future of our community.

The new Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital is funded through a mix of provincial investment, municipal support, philanthropy, and hospital revenues (e.g. parking and retail). The Province of Ontario is covering the majority of construction costs, while the community is helping fund equipment, technology, and other project needs. In total, the project represents an investment of approximately $13.9 billion — the largest healthcare investment in Canadian history. This includes not only construction but also a 30-year maintenance agreement to ensure the hospital remains state-of-the-art well into the future.

Local share is the portion of total project costs required to be raised by the local community. Overall, the local share will be in the range of ~10% of the overall costs.

The local share plan is a provincial requirement and ensures Trillium Health Partners can move forward with construction. To begin building, the hospital must demonstrate how it will fund more than $1 billion locally—in addition to provincial contributions.

On May 28, 2025, Mississauga City Council unanimously approved a historic investment of $390M to contribute towards Trillium Health Partners’ local share of funding for The Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital and Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children. With this support Trillium Health Partners has a fully funded local share plan and can proceed to contract execution and construction start.

Construction will take several years. Substantial completion of the new hospital is expected in 2033, with full operations beginning in 2034 once staff move-in, training, and testing of all systems is complete.

No. Care will continue at the existing hospital throughout construction. From time to time, some entrances, parking areas, or pathways may change. Clear signage and alternate routes will always be in place to help patients and visitors find their way. We recommend giving yourself extra time when coming to the hospital, just in case you need to follow a detour or new route.

Yes. The schedule for the new hospital has been developed collaboratively over the past two years, with input from all partners to make sure it is realistic and detailed. The project also includes tight contractual timelines and milestone checks, monitored by Infrastructure Ontario and Trillium Health Partners. While large projects of this scale can have adjustments along the way, lessons learned from past builds have been applied to improve efficiency and reduce risk.

Billions in savings have already been identified through scope revisions, value engineering, and design optimization. For example, we have selected cost-effective building materials that are readily available and can be sourced locally while meeting sustainability requirements.

We’ve reduced non-clinical administrative and support spaces from the hospital preserving acute hospital space for patient care including:

• Relocating teams to more cost-effective buildings nearby
• Introducing hoteling space for a hybrid work model for non-clinical staff
• Standardized and reduced office sizes

The hospital is being built on existing land, avoiding the need for land acquisition or rezoning – a major cost and time savings.

We’ve also standardized patient rooms and operating rooms across the facility, reducing design costs, increasing flexibility, and improving future adaptability. This includes:

• Standardizing the size and configuration of over 100 exam rooms reducing design costs and increasing flexibility
• One single design for 648 medicine and surgical inpatient rooms
• Standard design for over 150 ambulatory clinic rooms

While there will be disruption to nearby areas, THP is working with partners to reduce impacts – such as construction noise – through mitigation plans, and will inform neighbours, patients, and families in advance.

Local residents will be kept informed throughout the construction process with regular updates shared on Trillium Health Partners’ website, social media channels, and at community town halls. Please sign up for our mailing list for future communications here. We’re committed to open and ongoing communication, and residents are also encouraged to reach out with any questions by emailing ask@thp.ca.

The new hospital is being designed with flexibility and advanced digital infrastructure so it can adapt as technology evolves. THP’s equipment agreement with ensures the supply, maintenance, and replacement of select medical equipment, providing THP with access to innovative, high-quality, and up-to-date medical equipment that will help us stay at the forefront of modern health care. We are also building on THP’s existing digital strengths, such as electronic health records, to support safer, more connected care. From rapid diagnostic tools for family doctors to innovations in digital health, the hospital will be equipped to keep pace with new advances and deliver patient-centred care for decades to come.

We are committed to transparent, ongoing communication. Updates will be shared via the hospital website, social media, signage, community mailings, and public meetings.

Residents are encouraged to reach out through the project email (ask@thp.ca) or via the 24/7 community hotline (416-594-2157). Regular updates and community meetings will also provide opportunities for feedback. All inquiries will be logged, reviewed, and responded to, with serious concerns escalated as needed.

Yes. The new Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital and Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children will offer significantly expanded services to better meet the needs of our growing and diverse community.

Key features of The Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital:

• Over 950 beds, all in 100% private rooms for enhanced infection prevention and patient comfort
• 23 state-of-the-art operating rooms, up from 14 today, equipped with the latest surgical technology
• One of the largest emergency departments in the province, designed to reduce wait times and improve patient experience
• Advanced diagnostic imaging facilities, a modern pharmacy, and a leading-edge clinical laboratory
• Underground parking for patients and visitors in addition to the new parking garage
• Faith space designed to support a wide range of spiritual and religious practices
• Green spaces that enhance patient experience, and large windows for increased natural light

Key features of the Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children:

• A first of its kind in Ontario, it provides specialized care for all people and families accessing reproductive, gynecological, paediatric and postpartum care, including those who identify outside of the gender binary
• 31 modern birthing suites and 53 postpartum beds
• An expanded Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), with couplet suites to keep parents and babies together when both require inpatient care
• 36 pediatric beds, including 12 dedicated mental health inpatient beds for children and youth — a first for the region
• State-of-the-art surgical suites for specialized paediatric and maternal procedures
• Increased family friendly spaces including a dedicated paediatric zone in the new emergency department, and infant feeding rooms

These new and expanded services will ensure patients and families across Mississauga and the region have access to high-quality, specialized care close to home, in a modern, purpose-built environment.

This new hospital will transform how care is delivered — not just by expanding capacity, but by redesigning care around people, not institutions.

It will offer more beds, larger emergency departments, and state-of-the-art operating rooms, helping reduce wait times and meet the growing needs of one of Canada’s fastest-growing, most diverse communities.

But it’s more than just a new building. It’s the foundation for a more connected, personalized, and preventative health system — one that will serve as specialized hubs of cutting-edge care that is digitally connected to the community – from primary care to clinics and long-term care – to put people at the centre.

In planning the location of The Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital, including the parking garage, we looked a number of different options, based on:

• the most effective functioning hospital building for staff to deliver of safe, high quality patient care;
• the most efficient schedule; and,
• greatest value for money, and overall cost.

After studying a number of site arrangements, it was determined that the best location for The Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital is along Hurontario, with the new parking garage in the southwest end of the property.

The process for building the new hospital is based on ensuring minimal disruption to the hospital care being delivered today, and making sure that traffic flow on the property is manageable so staff, patients, visitors and emergency services can easily access the hospital.

As a first step, a new parking garage was built on the southwest end of the property, adjacent to Bronte College. Once completed, the former parking garage, Camilla Care Community and the Clinical Administration building (office building facing Hurontario Street) were torn town to allow for construction of the new hospital. Former residents of Camilla were transitioned to other long term care homes including the newly constructed Wellbrook Place, on Speakman Drive in Mississauga in 2023.

Once the new hospital build is complete and occupied, the existing Mississauga Hospital will be torn down, with the exception of the J-wing patient tower on the west side of the property.

The former parking garage, Camilla Care Community and the Clinical Administration building will come down to allow for the construction of the new hospital as they are located on the footprint of The Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital.

Although it may be counterintuitive given the age of the building, tearing down the Clinical Administration Building allows for the best building configuration for the new hospital, the most cost-effective and fastest project.

Alternate design configurations that maintained the Clinical Administration Building would require the new hospital to be built on the south side of the existing property. This would mean the hospital would be built in two phases, increasing the cost and project schedule.

As the Clinical Administration Building comes down, THP will recycle the majority of the building material. Material such as brick, untreated wood, fluorescent bulbs, metal, and unpainted drywall will be sent to a licensed facility, with THP being able to recycle over 80% of those items.

Mississauga Hospital is in a unique position where we are building The Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital and Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children on the same grounds as the current hospital. As we begin construction and development of the new hospital, there are going to be locations that will require a re-route of traffic or traffic restrictions. This will enable us to safely build the new hospital, while providing high quality care to the community. We recognize the inconvenience that this may cause for all staff, patients and visitors and we appreciate your understanding throughout the course of construction.

Building the largest hospital expansion project in Canada’s history requires a steady flow of materials and equipment. Between 400 and 600 trucks and buses will travel to and from the site each day to keep work moving safely and efficiently utilizing major arterial roadways. We know this comes at a time when other major projects, including the Hurontario LRT, residential developments, and municipal roadwork, are already affecting nearby roads. That’s why we have taken a careful, coordinated approach to planning construction traffic.

A team of transportation and safety experts has developed a comprehensive approach to traffic management guided by the following principles:

• Ensure traffic moves safely and predictably avoiding residential roadways
• Coordinate with the City of Mississauga, Region of Peel and partners
• Maintain progress towards project schedule and budge
• Be open and responsive with the community — share information clearly, listen to feedback, incorporate changes where possible and explain what’s changing and why
• Continuously monitor conditions and act quickly when adjustments are needed

Construction traffic is being carefully managed through a coordinated plan designed to keep trucks on major roads, maintain safety, and reduce local disruption. A 2024 traffic study confirmed that the surrounding road network can accommodate peak construction traffic with minimal delays Key parts of the plan include:

• Using major arterial roads such as Hwy 403, Mavis, The Queensway, Hurontario, and Dundas to keep trucks on the fastest and most direct routes and away from residential areas.
• Designating a truck waiting area along The Queensway so up to 75 trucks can queue safely off the road before entering the site.
• Maintaining safety for workers, hospital staff, patients, and nearby residents through staffed access points and controlled truck movement.
• Minimizing congestion by staggering deliveries and construction vehicle traffic throughout the day.
• Connecting quickly to the QEW when leaving the construction site to limit drive times within the city.
• Using real-time dispatching and monitoring so vehicles arrive only when needed and routes can be adjusted as conditions change.
• Bussing construction workers to and from the site to reduce traffic and prevent parking on nearby residential streets or in local business lots.
• Monitoring and enforcing compliance through regular site checks by THP staff, with City and Regional staff providing additional oversight and enforcement as needed.

Once The Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital and Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children is completed, there will be over 2,400 parking spots: 1,300 in the parking garage, 800 in the hospital's underground parking garage, and an additional 350 surface level parking spots.

With the opening of the new parking garage in November 2024, there are now approximately 1,500 parking spots at Mississauga Hospital for patients, visitors, and staff including 1,300 in the new garage and nearly 200 surface-level spaces. Additionally, we have secured 690 parking spaces for staff at nearby office buildings to reduce the demand for parking onsite at the hospital.

Before construction began on the new parking garage, there were over 1,900 parking spots: more than 1,100 in the parking garage, and nearly 800 surface level spots.

The hospital is being delivered through a public–private partnership (P3) model. ED+PCL Healthcare Partners was selected through a competitive procurement process led by Infrastructure Ontario and Trillium Health Partners. They are responsible for the design, construction, financing, and long-term maintenance of the facility.

On Friday, April 1, 2022, THP received an Enhanced Minister’s Zoning Order (EMZO) to rezone the Camilla Care Community property at 2250 Hurontario Street from residential to institutional use as part of The Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital project. To move forward with construction, the site must be rezoned for hospital use (institutional zoning). The EMZO gives the Minister of Municipal Affairs ∓ Housing the authority to rezone a particular site, rather than go through the traditional municipal zoning process, which can take up to 12 months or longer. Speeding up this process helps deliver faster access to the much-needed, modern, expanded hospital services this growing community deserves.

The EMZO motion was brought to Mississauga City Council on February 2, 2022 and passed with unanimous support. As part of the process, THP consulted with local community/ratepayer groups, neighbours, stakeholders and held three town halls open to the public (Community Town Hall March 2022 - Presentation). No specific questions or concerns were received from the public during these Town Halls. Questions received through these forums were related to:

• Cycling routes and intersection safety
• Alignment and collaboration with LRT construction timelines
• Traffic impacts
• Construction timelines
• Staffing the future hospital
• Wayfinding and hospital navigation
• Opportunities for further engagement
• Appreciation for hospital staff
• Service delivery and services provided
• Growth of beds

The Trillium HealthWorks Experience Centre has given us the chance to “test-drive” our future hospital before it’s built. By walking through life-size mock-ups of patient rooms, nursing stations, and other key spaces, staff and partners were able to spot what worked well and what could be improved. This hands-on process led to thousands of refinements — from small design details to larger changes — ensuring the hospital will be safer, easier to use, and better equipped to support patients, families, and care teams.

Construction for The new Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital and Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children is taking place under a City-approved by-law exemption to help finish the project sooner. Most major work, like excavation and concrete placement, happens Monday to Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Some tasks, such as site prep, crane operations, and waste removal, may occur between 5:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. or 7:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. No major work is currently planned on Sundays or holidays, except for essential tasks. To reduce disruption, we’re using quieter equipment, scheduling loud work mostly during the day, and installing noise barriers along The Queensway.

The City of Mississauga has authorized Trillium Health Partners (THP), along with its contractors and agents, to receive a 24-7 noise by-law exemption from the City’s Noise By-law for construction activities related to the Project, beginning in March 2025 until substantial completion. These exemptions are conditional and subject to requirements outlined in the June 2024 Corporate Report. Key conditions include advance notification to residents within 120 metres of construction, maintaining dedicated communication channels to address complaints, providing Enforcement staff with complaint data and noise mitigation updates every six months, and submitting a status update to Council one year after construction begins.

There is no parking for construction workers on the hospital campus. Instead, shuttle buses will bring workers from remote lots within about 30 minutes of the site. Shift times will be staggered to reduce congestion at entry and exit points.

If a road or entrance needs to close temporarily, alternative pick-up/drop-off points and sidewalk detours will be created to maintain safe access to the hospital. Temporary fencing and gates will keep construction zones separate from public areas, and regular street sweeping and dust suppression will keep hospital roads and sidewalks clean. Information about major road or campus disruptions will be shared with the community in advance through multiple channels.

All construction and delivery trucks are required to follow approved routes, with staff and an electronic booking system in place to enforce compliance. A strict “one-strike” policy is in effect: if a driver uses an unauthorized route or idles in the community, they will not be permitted back on the project.

Noise and vibration monitors were installed before construction to establish baseline levels. Work must comply with both City of Mississauga bylaws and project agreement criteria. The City has granted a bylaw exemption for the duration of the project, with strict conditions around mitigation and community communication. Real-time monitoring systems are in place, and if thresholds are exceeded, alerts will trigger immediate corrective action. Sensitive hospital equipment are also subject to even vibration monitoring.

We will keep engaging with the community and monitoring as construction moves forward. If noise or safety conditions along The Queensway change because of the hospital construction, we will reassess what’s needed, together with the City and Region. Any future decisions will balance community impact, project timelines, and costs.

Street sweepers, dust suppression methods, and designated wash-down areas for trucks will be used to keep roads and sidewalks clean. Trucks carrying soil or other dusty material will be covered when required, and extra cleaning will be arranged if dirt makes its way onto public streets.

ED+PCL Healthcare Partners is responsible for ensuring all construction staff follow the rules throughout the project. They work closely with contractors and subcontractors to make expectations clear and outline consequences for non-compliance. Key rules include trucks following designated routes (not cutting through neighbourhoods or parking on hospital property), no idling in the truck waiting area, and contractors without trucks using shuttles from nearby transit hubs.

To support compliance, the site will have clear gate signage, flag persons, and a booking system to direct vehicles. A strict one-strike policy is in place: any driver who fails to follow the approved traffic plan will lose access to the site. We understand that construction vehicles going the wrong direction or idling in already congested areas can have significant negative impacts on the community, which is why strict enforcement is a top priority.

When planning routes, several options were reviewed with the goal of keeping neighbourhood streets safe and minimizing community impact. Key criteria included directing trucks to larger arterial roads, avoiding smaller residential streets, maintaining consistent routes, and ensuring quick connections to the QEW.

Based on this analysis, the primary route chosen uses Highway 403 to Mavis Road, then eastbound along The Queensway to the hospital site. Construction vehicles leaving the site will exit onto and Hurontario and head toward the QEW - keeping heavy vehicles on major corridors designed for higher traffic volumes while minimizing disruption near residential and retail areas.

Cawthra Road was chosen as a secondary route that may be used during other phases of the project. A 2024 traffic study requested by the City of Mississauga confirmed that the local road network can accommodate construction-related truck traffic, even during peak periods. Trillium Health Partners and ED+PCL Healthcare Partners will continue to monitor traffic conditions and coordinate closely with the City of Mississauga to reassess routes as construction requirements change throughout the project.

Construction may bring periods of noise, dust, or temporary traffic changes. Mitigation measures such as barriers, dust suppression, and scheduling noisy work during daytime hours are being used to reduce impact. In the long run, the new hospital is expected to strengthen the community, expand access to health services, and create lasting benefits for the local area.

Some trees will need to be removed to accommodate construction. However, a landscaping and environmental plan is in place to replant trees, restore green space, and incorporate natural features into the final design. The goal is to enhance the hospital campus and its surrounding environment when construction is complete.

Expanding hospital capacity is a critical part of meeting the needs of our fast-growing community. Together, these redevelopment projects will add over 600 new beds across our network, creating much-needed space at Mississauga Hospital and Queensway Health Centre, while also easing pressure at Credit Valley Hospital. By co-locating and specializing services, we can improve efficiency, streamline patient flow, and expand access to care.

Meeting future demand is not only about more beds. We are strengthening partnerships with family physicians, home care providers, long-term care, and retirement facilities to make sure more care is available outside hospital walls. Programs such as THP@Home already help patients transition safely home within 24 hours, reducing pressure on hospital services. Technology and digital health will also play a central role in reducing wait times and ensuring patients and families receive timely, high-quality care — both during construction and once the new hospitals open.

Oversight comes from several levels. Infrastructure Ontario monitors compliance with the contract, timelines, and financial performance. Trillium Health Partners ensures hospital operations and safety are protected, while the City enforces traffic, environmental, and noise bylaws. The public will receive regular updates, and concerns will be logged and addressed.

Trillium Health Partners and its construction contractor EllisDon+PCL Healthcare Partners will follow the City of Mississauga’s approved by-law exemption. Together, we will monitor activities on-site to ensure compliance, use sound walls and quieter equipment, and manage truck traffic with a designated truck waiting area to prevent idling near homes. The City retains enforcement authority and can investigate concerns or issue fines if needed, and we will work closely with both the City and the community to address any issues quickly.

The truck waiting area is a designated waiting zone that helps reduce congestion near the hospital by capturing construction vehicles before they reach the site. With 11 vehicle gates, trucks are dispatched efficiently to their designated entrances, preventing backups at hospital access points. Given the limited on-site space and the need to maintain hospital operations, the space keeps trucks off the main road by allowing the site team to safely dispatch them into the site one at a time. This will ultimately reduce backups on The Queensway, improve safety for drivers and the public, and keep hundreds of daily deliveries running smoothly. The construction of the truck waiting area on The Queensway is scheduled to begin in August 2025 and is expected to be completed by December 2025.

The wall will remain in place through the early and most active stages of construction, through to 2033.

The Queensway was selected following a thorough review of several potential sites. Its nearby location is optimal for capturing vehicle traffic and efficiently controlling hospital access. This proximity enables vehicles to stage near the site and proceed directly to the project area once cleared, minimizing delays. As time management is critical to the success of the project, it is essential that vehicles are operated safely and effectively throughout the site to adhere to schedule requirements.

To keep traffic moving, EllisDon-PCL will have staff on-site to oversee The Queensway truck waiting area and direct truck movements, with flag persons managing entry and exit points. Trucks will follow designated haul routes that avoid residential streets, and construction workers will be bussed in to reduce parking and traffic impacts.

We’re also working closely with the City, Metrolinx, and other major projects to coordinate schedules and adjust plans as needed. Weekly touchpoints are held with Metrolinx to review overlapping construction activities along The Queensway and Hurontario, where the hospital site borders the LRT route. In addition, monthly meetings take place between THP, ED+PCL Healthcare Partners, Infrastructure Ontario, and Metrolinx to make sure construction schedules are aligned, minimize disruption, and address any issues quickly as they arise.

The designated traffic routes have been selected to minimize the impact of construction vehicles on city streets. Vehicles approaching from the north side of The Queensway should proceed southbound on Mavis via Highway 403. Those arriving from the south side of The Queensway may use one of the main intersections from the QEW to Dundas, then travel east or west to reach Mavis. Construction deliveries are directed to travel southbound on Mavis from Dundas to The Queensway, turn east onto The Queensway, and access the site through one of several available gates. Upon departure, vehicles MUST exit south onto Hurontario from the site or from Bronte College and merge onto the QEW in either direction.

City by-law enforcement officers will not be stationed full-time on the site but will make regular visits to monitor compliance. We as Trillium Health Partners, together with our contractors EllisDon+PCL Healthcare Partners, are responsible for ensuring all conditions of the exemption are met. EllisDon+PCL Healthcare Partners will communicate the rules and requirements to all subcontractors and oversee their compliance. Alongside the contractors, we will work closely with City staff to address complaints and ensure policies are consistently enforced.

We will maintain a regular schedule for street sweeping and debris removal, and trucks will use designated wash-down areas before leaving the site to prevent mud or dirt from tracking onto local roads. Waste will be removed frequently, and materials will be stored securely to avoid litter or dust.

We’re working closely with nearby businesses and BIAs to share schedules, coordinate deliveries, and maintain safe, clear access at all times. Signage will guide customers and visitors, and we’ll adjust work plans where possible to minimize noise, dust, and traffic disruptions. Regular updates will keep businesses informed so they can plan ahead.

Construction vehicles will enter through Gate One (the former Camilla Care driveway) and exit through Gates Three, Four, Five on Hurontario, and Gate Six on Bronte College Court. To prevent congestion, trucks will wait in a dedicated truck waiting area on Queensway West and be called into the site as needed. A separate truck lane with flag-person traffic control will ensure hospital deliveries and construction vehicles remain safely separated.

During construction, an average of 44 trucks and buses per hour will travel to and from the site. At peak construction periods, this is expected to rise to about 52 vehicles per hour. Total daily volumes will range between 400 and 600 vehicles, with current levels as of fall 2025 averaging around 400 vehicles per day.

Large amounts of soil are being removed to prepare the site for construction. This excess soil is transported to licensed dump sites, and in some cases stockpiled temporarily depending on the season and weather. With the scale of excavation required, the soil will be distributed across a number of locations.

We aim to minimize delays by using an electronic booking system. Trucks arrive on a “just-in-time” basis, meaning they only show up when needed. This reduces waiting times, idling, and backups near the hospital. In addition, the extended shoulder along the south side of Queensway West has been designed as a safe, designated lane (called a truck waiting area), allowing construction vehicles to queue off the main roadway and further reducing the impact on existing traffic. The truck waiting area will be maintained, with flag-person traffic control, so that construction deliveries and heavy‐truck movements remain safely separated from general traffic.

A completed traffic study showed that the local road network can handle the additional construction trucks, even at peak times. At the peak of construction – starting in Spring 2026, lasting for 6 months – approximately 500 vehicles per day will access the site. Outside of the peak period, there will be approximately 150 vehicles per day accessing the site.

The intersection at Mavis Road and The Queensway West will continue to see typical traffic volumes, with the southbound left turn from Mavis onto The Queensway remaining the busiest movement, currently serving between 600 and 900 vehicles per hour during peak traffic.

Even with construction traffic added, the study found that average travel times would increase by only about 2 seconds in the morning and show no measurable impact in the afternoon.

Yes. A traffic study of the Mavis Road and The Queensway intersection was completed in 2024 to help plan for construction and future hospital traffic. The study was carried out by LEA Consulting Ltd and ED+PCL Healthcare Partners. The study followed the City of Mississauga’s Transportation Impact Study Guidelines and used data collected over a 24-hour period on October 10, 2024.

The City of Mississauga, and Region of Peel, required snow storage space to be built into the truck waiting area design. Snow removal in the truck waiting area will be managed by ED+PCL Healthcare Partners, not the City.

Strict no-idling rules are enforced in the truck waiting area to reduce diesel exhaust. Staff are on site to ensure compliance at all times. Watering trucks are also used to control dust, with care taken not to overwater so the area does not become muddy.

The temporary wall along the south side of The Queensway helps reduce construction noise for patients, visitors, and staff at the hospital. It also provides a safe dedicated lane built to keep construction vehicles off The Queensway and maintain smooth traffic flow. The wall forms part of the project’s broader Noise Mitigation Plan to minimize disruption during construction.

The sound wall runs the full length of the truck waiting area, approximately 750 metres. This ensures continuous coverage wherever vehicles may idle or move within the truck waiting area. It is 12'-0" high and is deigned at that height for effective sound attenuation.

It is built from douglas fir pressure treated plywood panels designed to meet the safety and durability requirements of outdoor construction hoarding. The materials are consistent with typical temporary noise-barrier construction.

The sound wall is 12'-0" high and the materials and thicknesses selected have a density factor in line with the required design parameters for effective sound attenuation, consistent with noise-barrier construction. The wall covers the entire truck waiting area, where construction vehicles queue. By extending the full length, it provides consistent noise reduction and safety separation across the whole active zone.

• A neonatal intensive care unit with specially designed couplet care suites to accommodate parents and babies receiving care and staying together.
• Access to state-of-the-art surgical suites to accommodate specialized procedures not previously provided at Trillium Health Partners.
• Family-centred care that stretches throughout all areas of the hospital and includes 100% private, all-gender washrooms, infant feeding areas and a dedicated paediatric zone in the emergency department.
• Excellent patient and family experience with access to highly-trained specialists.

Every aspect of care delivered will prioritize the experience of women and children to ensure the best quality care and an excellent patient experience, with a focus on teaching, research and innovation that supports and well-being of women, children, and equity-deserving groups. While it will be called the Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children, we are committed to creating safe environments for care for all people and families, including those who identify as gender diverse, non-binary, gender-nonconforming, transgender and other gender identities. We will offer a full suite of reproductive and gynecological health services in an inclusive, safe space.

By focusing on the specific populations who will receive care in the Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children, we will intentionally design for the unique health care needs of these patient populations, which have been historically overlooked in the design and planning of healthcare services as well as other equity-deserving groups.

The Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children will deliver health care that works well for everyone involved — patients, family members, hospital employees and care providers, and in a space that is built to meet the unique health care needs of women and children and families. By integrating specialized services including birthing services, postpartum, neonatal, gynecological and paediatric care together, we will be better positioned to care for and respond to the needs of our community. This means that women and children will have access to highly specialized care in a state-of-the-art setting, that is closer to home and can support them throughout their life span. We are committed to creating safe environments for care for all people and families, including those who identify as gender diverse, non-binary, non-gender conforming and trans.

All of our emergency departments will be resourced to support women and children in emergencies, including emergency births.

Trillium Health Partners is a growing and learning organization and there will be many new and expanded roles as we advance our plan for the new hospital. While locations and how we deliver care to meet the needs of our community will change over time, there will be opportunities for our talented people, and new people we will recruit, to be a part of this change. We will continue to engage with and plan with our people to support these transitions carefully.

We have started engaging the community on the need for more services and new hospitals; the response has been overwhelmingly positive and supportive to date. As we move forward with construction and project plans, we will continue to engage with the community through awareness building, education, and offering opportunities to provide feedback on the experiences they want to have within the Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children and the hospital’s plans for the future.

On September 26, 2023, Trillium Health Partners, and the Government of Ontario, announced their plans to advance health care and health promotion, by building Ontario’s first Women's and Children's Hospital. On May 9, 2024, thanks to the generosity of a transformational donation, Trillium Health Partners announced that the new hospital, when complete, would be called The Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children. The new hospital will be located at the site of the current Mississauga Hospital and will be purpose-built for families in our community, offering a full suite of specialized services, integrated care and health system partnerships that will improve generational health in Mississauga and West Toronto.

Currently, women's and children's services are spread between Mississauga Hospital and Credit Valley Hospital. We are bringing these services together at Credit Valley Hospital to create a more organized and streamlined care model for our patients and employees. This change will also provide a consistent patient experience and more effectively manage the increasing demand in our community. Full integration into Credit Valley Hospital will begin as of October 8, 2025, providing a cohesive space until construction on the Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children is complete.

Renovations started at Credit Valley Hospital in April 2024, and services will fully integrate into this site beginning October 8, 2025.

The investment into redeveloping the existing program space at Credit Valley Hospital is long-term – we are redeveloping the space in a way that is transferable to whichever program moves in when the Women’s and Children’s Program moves to the future Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children.

Integrating our services will strengthen the care we provide by creating more consistency in the patient experience at one hospital site. This integrated care model will improve how care is organized by making better use of resources, ensuring consistent practices and allowing program staff to practice their speciality skills. Since inpatient paediatrics have been located at Credit Valley Hospital, staffing has been more stable and has allowed the program to operate at a greater capacity, which was previously a challenge when operating at both Mississauga and Credit Valley Hospital sites. Having women’s and children’s care at a single hospital site makes access to care easier so we can continue to provide excellent care and offer specific programs for women and children.

The Women’s and Children’s Program integration at Credit Valley Hospital will be a temporary measure that will help us more efficiently manage growing volumes over the coming years. The future Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children and the space it will provide will be essential for us to meet the volume demands of our growing community.

Once the redevelopment work and the integration to Credit Valley Hospital is complete, Trillium Health Partners will continue to have the capacity to support 8,000 births per year, as we have in previous years across both hospital sites. Credit Valley Hospital will be adequately staffed to support this volume of births, and our teams will continue to provide high-quality care and a positive patient experience.

Emergency care will continue at both Mississauga and Credit Valley Hospitals during this time and following the integration of services, ensuring high-quality care for women, children and our community. If specialized care or admission is required for a patient who goes to Mississauga Hospital, our dedicated teams will work with the patient and their family to facilitate a safe transfer.

We will be integrating as much as possible before moving into the future Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children, in ways that maximize quality, access and sustainability, and prepare our people, patients and community. This work has already begun with the consolidation of all inpatient paediatric care to Credit Valley Hospital. The next step is that as of October 8, 2025 all inpatient care for birthing, NICU and other gynecological and reproductive health services, in addition to children’s inpatient care, will be provided at Credit Valley Hospital until the Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children is complete. We will ensure that any changes we make continue to meet the needs of the community in the interim and that there is strong communication and engagement along the way.

The future Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children will be a part of an integrated system of care, connected to both Credit Valley Hospital and our network of partners in the community and region. The Credit Valley Hospital Emergency Department will continue to be equipped to provide safe and high-quality care for women and children when the future Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children opens. In addition, surgeries related to Oncology/Cancer, including gynecologic oncology, will remain at Credit Valley Hospital. All other clinical services for women and children will be moved to the future Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children when construction is complete.

Trillium Health Partners is a trusted provider of paediatric care within our region and wants to ensure the highest quality of care for our patients and families. Integrating inpatient paediatrics to Credit Valley Hospital has demonstrated the benefits for children, families, and teams of operating these services at one site. Our clinical teams can better keep the same number of beds open for children and families needing care. To sustain these benefits into the future, we will be operating the inpatient Paediatric unit (3C) at Credit Valley Hospital until the Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children is complete. In addition to these benefits, Emergency Department access for children and families has remained available to the community at Mississauga Hospital, and cross-site transfers are initiated when admission is required.

Trillium Health Partners offers highly specialized health care services across three main hospital sites including the Credit Valley Hospital, Mississauga Hospital and Queensway Health Centre, as well as several satellite locations from Toronto to Oakville. For Mississauga residents, the average driving time to travel to the Mississauga Hospital location is 21 minutes and the average driving time to get to Credit Valley Hospital is 16 minutes. We know access to services is important for the community, and through investments in transportation infrastructure, like the Hazel McCallion Line along Hurontario Street, timely access to all of our hospital sites will continue to grow.

Emergency care will continue at both Mississauga and Credit Valley Hospitals during this time and following the integration of services, ensuring high-quality care for women, children and our community. If specialized care or admission is required for a patient who goes to Mississauga Hospital, our dedicated teams will work with the patient and their family to facilitate a safe transfer. Currently, all of our in-patient paediatric care is provided at Credit Valley Hospital. If a child requires hospital admission or treatment, they will receive that care at Credit Valley Hospital. Whether it is urgent care, emergency care, inpatient admission or access to specialists, families in Mississauga and West Toronto can get access to care closer to home.

Trillium Health Partners offers comprehensive health care services through our three main hospital sites and satellite locations. Services are organized and delivered to ensure that patients receive the right care in the right location at the right time. Specialty services are provided at centres of expert care, where specialized health care professionals, advanced equipment, and other resources work together to deliver the highest quality of care. This approach ensures efficiency and ultimately leads to better patient outcomes.

Each hospital site plays a crucial role in delivering these specialized services: Credit Valley Hospital serves as the regional centre for cancer and chronic kidney care, Mississauga Hospital as the centre for cardiac health, stroke, neurological care, and future home of Ontario’s first women’s and children’s hospital at the Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children, while the Queensway Health Centre specializes in seniors, rehabilitation, and complex continuing care. When women’s and children’s services are located at the future Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children, there will be additional capacity at Credit Valley Hospital, addressing the growing healthcare needs of the city's northwest region. These specialized services are a part of an interconnected system of inclusive care that is delivered through partnerships across the continuum of care, including long-term care, home and community, primary care and public health.

The Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital will feature a diagnostic imaging program that is 66% larger than it is currently. The new hospital will mean more beds, shorter wait times and better access to specialists closer to home.

Any existing named spaces, services or centres within the diagnostic imaging program will retain their name and now be part of The Cator Family Diagnostic Imaging Program. For example, The Michèle S. Darling Women's Imaging and Assessment Centre is part of The Cator Family Diagnostic Imaging Program.

Freestanding rehab and complex care facilities are common throughout our health system and aligned with best practices. To have a purpose-built, specifically designed centre that offers the continuum of rehabilitation and functional restoration beds in one place is an important service for our community The expansion of the Queensway Health Centre will be a specially designed, purpose-built rehab and complex continuing care centre, where care is focused on restoring function, optimizing functional independence, and improving quality of life.

The existing site will remain and continue to be used for patient care. Some areas will be renovated as part of this project.

Following Financial Close in February 2024, EllisDon Corporation – who was awarded the fixed-price contract to build the new patient tower and finance the expansion of The Gilgan Family Queensway Health Centre – began construction work in the same month.

Patient tower occupancy and final completion is planned for 2029.

The new parking garage offers eight levels of parking and 800 spaces, in addition to about 400 existing surface level spots.

Once construction for the The Gilgan Family Queensway Health Centre is complete, there will be over 1,400 parking spaces throughout the property.

In February 2024, EllisDon Corporation was awarded a fixed-price contract of $1.3 billion to build and finance a new patient care tower at The Gilgan Family Queensway Health Centre.

THP is implementing comprehensive plans to minimize disruptions to patient care and staff operations, including clear communication channels and contingency plans.

While there may be some adjustments during the construction phase, the expansion aims to improve efficiency and enhance our ability to deliver high-quality care to our patients and community.

The new Seniors’ Campus of Care will function as an interconnected community for seniors and caregivers, providing a broad range of services and programs that meet the needs of those it serves.

Wellbrook Place, two new long-term care homes with a total of 632 beds, is part of the first phase of the campus and will address the current lack of access to long-term care in this community and create capacity in hospitals where many patients wait for long-term care placement. The long-term care homes include specialized services including Enhanced Supportive Neighborhoods, bariatric-friendly rooms, and virtual connection to specialized medical care.

Also part of the first phase development is a renal centre with 16-dialysis stations, operated by Trillium Health Partners, to serve both the long-term care and community residents, and a Seniors Hub, operated by PCH, that will offer an innovative model of coordinated, community-based seniors’ care.

Future phases include a residential hospice (built and operated by Hospice Mississauga) and a health services building, which will offer a suite of seniors focused services (yet to be determined) and will support people receiving the right care in the right place at the right time.

Trillium Health Partners (THP) looked at more than 100 properties across Mississauga. A number of factors were considered in the decision about where to locate, including: compatibility with surrounding uses; community needs; size of site and dimensions; and, cost.

The property at 2180 Speakman Drive was selected due to:

• Location – south Mississauga has the oldest population / highest concentration of seniors and demand for health care services will continue to grow in this area
• Opportunity to provide community-based services in an area where THP does not currently have health services
• Conveniently located near the QEW
• Proximity to palliative physicians at Mississauga Hospital (10 minutes) and Credit Valley Hospital (11 minutes); Credit Valley Hospital will be the clinical lead physicians at the residential hospice
• Close to parkland and residential area, so that people in south Mississauga can age and receive care in their own community in a more home-like and community setting
• Affordability

It is estimated that Mississauga will need 2,720 LTC beds, or 136 new beds per year by 2040 to keep pace with population growth and aging. The two homes will add 632 new LTC beds to Mississauga in an area that has historically been underserved.

Seniors who live in Mississauga South West (SW), experience more hospitalizations than the rest of the community, approximately 6,000 unscheduled hospital admissions in 2019/20 of seniors who were 65+. Introducing a Seniors’ Campus of Care will help to prevent hospitalization of seniors and enable them to receive the right care in the right place, at the right time.

Currently, Wellbrook Place has 308 parking spots. This allows us to offer 100 more parking spots than required by the municipal standard.

Expansion of parking for the hospice and the health services building will be determined through the future planning process.

Wellbrook Place, the long-term care homes at 2180 Speakman Drive, is operated by Partners Community Health, a new, independent not-for-profit organization focused on bringing health care services together around the needs of people living in Mississauga. Click here to learn more about Wellbrook Place: Announcing New Name For Partners Community Health Long-Term Care Homes On Speakman Drive - Partners Community Health.

The long-term care homes feature the latest standards for LTC home design and safety, including single-occupancy bedrooms, appropriately sized lounge and dining areas, outdoor terraces and spaces, and enhancements to HVAC including capability for 100% fresh air supply. The homes will also include programs that allow people to receive the care they need close to home, including:

• Two units specially-designed to safely care for people who live with advanced dementia (Enhanced Supportive Neighborhoods);
• Bariatric rooms throughout the homes, built and furnished to support an underserved LTC population;
• A dialysis program, adjacent to the long-term care home and operated by THP to support LTC residents living with chronic kidney disease; and,
• Virtual models of care will be used to connect the homes to hospital specialists at THP, increasing the quality of resident care.

People interested in seeking placement at Wellbrook Place will go through the same process that applies to all LTC in Ontario as set by the Province. This process includes an assessment to determine eligibility for LTC, selecting up to five homes of interest, and placement depending on availability. The Province identifies those in certain communities and individuals coming out of hospital as having priority access to certain LTC homes. Living in close proximity to a LTC home does not mean a request will be accepted to a particular home. For more information on the placement process, you can visit Partner Community Health’s Website or email info@partnerscommunityhealth.ca as Partners Community Health will be operating the LTC homes.

As part of the planning and design stages of the Wellbrook Place development Trillium Health Partners completed light, shadow and traffic studies that were submitted to the City of Mississauga.
