Officials with the Saskatoon Health Region gave an update on construction of the Children’s Hospital of Saskatchewan Thursday.

Craig Ayers, the health region’s project director for the new hospital, said everything is moving on schedule.

“This week, preparations are being finalized to start building the main floor, which involves pouring concrete into pre-built forms,” he said.

Ayers said he was pleased that things have stayed on track through the project’s first winter. He noted there are still two winters to go before the hospital’s anticipated opening in 2019.
