Trillium Health Partners Marks Major Milestone for Mississauga’s Future Hospital

Ceremonial coin toss marks next phase of construction.

Trillium Health Partners and PCL Construction has reached a major construction milestone in building The Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital and Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children with concrete pouring officially underway. It is one of the largest and most digitally connected hospital redevelopment projects in Canada.

This milestone was marked with a ceremonial coin toss with government, donors and Team THP as part of a construction tradition symbolizing good luck, followed by crews pouring the coins into the foundation for the future hospital. One year after breaking ground, this progress marks an important step forward on a once-in-a-generation redevelopment that will not only expand capacity but fundamentally reimagine how health are is delivered in the Mississauga community.

The Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital and Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children are being designed as a modern hub of care that connects hospital services with primary care, home and community services and long-term care to improve the patient experience. Anchored within The Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital, the Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children will be digitally enabled and connected across hospital, ambulatory, virtual and community-based services, helping women, children and families experience care as one coordinated system rather than a series of disconnected steps.

This project will make it easier for patients and families to get the care they need sooner, shorter waits, more specialized services closer to home and better access for a growing and diverse community.

Progress at the Mississauga Hospital site continues to advance on track and on budget. Some highlights include:

  • Excavation is now over 78% complete
  • The site spans 250,000 square feet (approximately 15 hockey rinks)
  • 7 tower cranes have arrived onsite
  • Concrete foundation, footings, walls and column work has begun
  • New roundabout to open off of Bronte College Court this summer to enable access to all entrances.

While construction continues, Trillium Health Partners remains focused on delivering safe, high-quality care across its sites, ensuring patients and families receive the care they need today, while building for the future.
