The chair of the West Kootenay-Boundary Regional Hospital District says the board is ecstatic that a redevelopment of the emergency ward at Arrow Lakes Hospital in Nakusp will go ahead.
Aimee Watson says the project has been a goal for the hospital district for quite some time.
The project comes with a $2.1 million price tag.
Watson says the hospital district will cover 40 per cent of the cost and the rest will be handled by the BC Government.

She thanked the many people and groups who pushed to obtain approval for the project.
Designs of the three-phase project begin in April.
It’s scheduled to finish by the end of 2019.
