The appeal concerning the proposed Windsor mega-hospital and the development of its surrounding area will be proceeding to a hearing before the Divisional Court this coming Wednesday, May 6 at 10 a.m.

This hearing will be open to the public via YouTube or by telephone.
A link to the hearing live-stream will be available at www.windsormegahospital.ca on Wednesday morning.

The Citizens for an Accountable Mega-Hospital Planning Process (CAMPP) are asking the Court to allow five issues to be considered in detail at a future hearing:

- ensuring emergency services are properly located when the new hospital is built
- planning that properly considers climate change impacts
- the City’s obligation to consult with First Nations
- apparent unresolved conflicts in expert evidence
- the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic which could not have been considered when the new hospital was being planned.
