A month ago, Marie-Hélène Bernier announced she was stepping down as chair of the supervisory board of the Irénée de Bruyn Hospital. Only one person ran to succeed her: Vice Chair Marie-Angèle Aubin. She will therefore take over the position vacated by Marie-Hélène Bernier, who will, however, remain a member of the board. As third vice-chair of the territorial council, Marie-Angèle Aubin will continue the work begun with the health facility’s director, Éric Djamakorzian. The main priority is, of course, the hospital’s reconstruction. The next step will be the submission, in late November, of proposals by the three architectural firms selected by the “project management” jury. Éric Djamakorzian explains: “Once a proposal has been selected, the architect will prepare a request for proposals, and then the bidding process will begin. We will then have a clearer picture of the contract amount.” The director’s projections are as follows: ground-breaking in 2028 and completion of the work in 2030.
The hospital’s next supervisory board meeting will be held in late December.
