BURLINGTON, ON, Jan. 17, 2014 /CNW/ - Infrastructure Ontario and Joseph Brant Hospital have released a request for proposals to the three teams shortlisted to design, build and finance the Hospital's Redevelopment and Expansion Project. The new hospital construction is expected to start in early 2015 and the hospital is expected to be open in winter 2018/19.
