The project has been a dream for 15 years and all the money for the construction has been set aside by the hospital board over the years, said Fred Tilley, hospital board chairman at the ground-breaking ceremonv. The 8,200 square foot single- storey building, located just north the hospital, will provide facilities for six doctors as well as accommodation for a psychiatric care department and the Huron County Health Unit office.

In Phase One of the project, an updated fire alarm system for the hospital is in the final stages of completion, and approval for the updating of electrical and mechan­ ical services in the building, at a cost of $700,000 was received last week.
