The City of Surrey has received a development application for a new hospital with an integrated cancer centre. With the planning and permitting process underway, Surrey’s second hospital is set to begin construction in 2023 and be completed by 2027.

“With the development process now officially underway, Surrey residents will soon have a second hospital to serve our growing city,” said Mayor Doug McCallum. “I want to thank and applaud Minister Dix and the province for taking action on this much needed project. I want to assure Minister Dix that the City of Surrey will do everything in its part to fast track this development so it can be shovel ready as soon as possible.”

At $1.66 billion, Surrey’s second hospital is the largest provincial contribution to a health care project in the history of BC.

Surrey's new hospital will be built in Cloverdale beside the Kwantlen Polytechnic University campus at 5510 180 St.
