Peterborough, ON – On Monday, June 30, construction work will begin to replace the roof at Peterborough Regional Health Centre (PRHC), as part of our commitment to maintain a safe, sustainable and efficient hospital facility.

This project is expected to take place in phases over a period of several years, and will temporarily affect the hospital site and surrounding area during this time. The first phase will begin June 30 and last approximately 14 weeks.

Patients, visitors and others who are on or around the hospital site should expect the following:

  • Standard construction-related noise during work hours (typically Monday to Saturday, 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.)
  • A noticeable increase in the presence of contractors, work vehicles, and delivery trucks
  • During specific phases of this project, mild odours related to roofing materials may be noticeable. We are working with our suppliers to reduce the impact of odours as much as possible.

All activities will comply with safety standards, and designated work zones will be clearly marked.

Thank you in advance for your understanding and patience as we complete this necessary infrastructure work.
