“Signing this agreement is an enormous milestone for the new campus project,” Ottawa Hospital president and CEO Cameron Love said in a news release.

“It’ll generate a lot of revenues directly into the Ottawa economy,” Nathalie Cadieux, The Ottawa Hospital’s chief financial officer, told OBJ in a 2022 interview.
