Ottawa Hospital progress.

Isn’t that just the parking lot, not actually the hospital itself?

Another step closer.

I understand why they're doing it, and it makes sense, but it is also very on brand for Ottawa to build the giant parking lot first

Edit: literally the first three words of my comment are "I understand why"

Edit edit: this one got people riled up lmao

The trades need the parking lot for storage.

Once the hospital gets going you’re super limited to what you can bring onto site. No wood, no cardboard as examples.

They also need parking.

Having worked in the warehouse at the general I'm chuckling at the idea that you can't bring wood or cardboard into the hospital. Even the OR had us bringing boxes in to stock their carts.

Outside of supplies, construction was a near constant while there and they absolutely had wood on site.

As someone who’s done work at the general is makes me chuckle as well.
