fhe Hospital Story eae

Martin visited the Terrace Hospital
and after expressing amazement
at its dilapidated condition de-
cided immediate action. was neces:
sary. He obtained Government
approval in principle and soon a
firm of architects had been hired
by the Terrace and District Hos-
Pital Board’ and a site chosen
by government engineers. Now
came the long and difficult period
when plans were altered and shut-
tled from Victoria to Ottawa and
back to Terrace. Because three

‘partners were involved, (i.e. The

Provincial Government, The Fed-
etal Government and. the Terrace
Board,} arguments, changes, and
delays were inevitable but: finally
in the fall of 1959, a contract was
given to Peter Kiewit and Sons
who started construction on Feb-
ruary 6, 1980. ;
