Funding talks with federal government delay contract for 350-bed medical boarding facility in Ottawa
A proposed new medical boarding facility for Inuit patients in Ottawa is on hold as Larga Baffin Ltd. awaits a long-term service contract from the Government of Nunavut, the organization said in a statement last week.
Larga Baffin, which provides accommodation for Nunavummiut travelling to Ottawa for medical care, had planned to build a six-storey, 220-room boarding home at Hunt Club Road and Sieveright Avenue.
The company purchased the site in 2020.
