Healthcare Infrastructure, Western Canada
June 19-20, 2025 | Holiday Inn & Suites Vancouver Downtown. Vancouver, BC
The U.S.-Canada trade war and the uncertainty surrounding tariff implementation are creating significant challenges for healthcare infrastructure projects.
Provinces and industry partners are bracing for potential impacts on project timelines and budgets, particularly if tariffs lead to higher material costs. Amid this geopolitical uncertainty, Western Canada is also navigating regional challenges, including organizational changes and an unclear future for project funding, all while making progress on major hospital projects.
The Canadian Institute’s Forum on Healthcare Infrastructure offers a vital platform for capital planners, clinical leads, architects, engineers, and contractors to come together and tackle the most pressing issues impacting the design and delivery of healthcare facilities. Technological innovations, efficiencies through standardization, and strategies for future proofing hospitals will be in focus of this year’s discussions. Share insights, collaborate, and walk away with creative solutions to overcome these complex challenges.
