Build Nova Scotia Healthcare Infrastructure Division is committed to delivering an extensive, multi‑site, multi‑year infrastructure Redevelopment Plan designed to ensure the health care needs of Nova Scotians are met for the next 50 years. The redevelopment plan includes major expansions and additions to hospitals and health services in communities across the Province, including throughout the Halifax and Cape Breton Regional Municipalities. Successful project delivery will allow services to be moved out of the ageing facilities such as the Centennial, Victoria and Dickson buildings on the Victoria General (VG) site of the QEII. Master planning for the redevelopment program is focused on modernising the health care system to ensure the needs of Nova Scotians remain at the heart of our delivery of best‑in‑class services. Together, the redevelopment projects will help support the health care of all Nova Scotians today, and for future generations.
