More hospital beds, good news for the community.

A virtual community consultation meeting will take place on September 9 to hear a planning application filed by 150 Sherway Dr., which is the Queensway Health Centre.

The City has received an application from the Health Centre to permit the construction of a nine-storey inpatient hospital wing addition containing 416 beds to the north of the existing Queensway Health Centre, which is part of Trillium Hospital.

The proposal, which will be heard by the Etobicoke York Community Council, also includes an eight-storey parking structure, according to documents filed.

The meeting takes place from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and will be accessible online or by phone only. Some registration is required and presentations can be submitted.

Hospital officials say most of the funds have been raised for the Health Centre’s expansion by the community and the work is much needed to keep up with Mississauga’s growth in upcoming years.
