Local Share

The province covers 90% of new hospital builds. The City of Windsor and County of Essex have already committed $200 million toward the 10% local share of the project. 

On April 20, 2016, Essex County Council voted unanimously to cover 46% or $91.5 million of the local share for a new Windsor-Essex Hospitals System. Tecumseh Mayor Gary McNamara called it the biggest decision Essex County Council will make this term.

On April 25, 2016, Windsor City Council voted (9-1) in favour of supporting a levy to cover 54% or $108.5 million of the local share of the new Windsor-Essex Hospitals System. Drew Dilkens described the council meeting as a truly momentous night for the City of Windsor.
