Stalement that has slowed construction of $1.4 billion B.C. hospital over: Dix

B.C. health minister says local Indigenous companies free to work at hospital site near Duncan

Minister of Health Adrian Dix has stated that Cowichan Tribe companies will be allowed to work at the site of the new $1.4-billion Cowichan District Hospital.

Dix made that commitment in the legislature on Feb. 8 after Cowichan Valley MLA Sonia Furstenau asked him when companies that work under the banner of the Khowutzun Development Corporation, Cowichan Tribes’ economic arm, would be allowed back to work at the site.
