Why the New Hospital’s Blue H Is Still Covered

The 10-foot blue H is in place at the new Dawson Creek & District Hospital. Here’s why it’s staying covered for now.

If you’ve passed the new Dawson Creek & District Hospital and wondered what’s under the cover on the tower, it’s the hospital’s new blue H. The sign measures 10 feet by 10 feet, and crews used a crane to lift it into place.

Northern Health is keeping the sign covered until closer to opening day so people know where to go for care. For now, patients should continue to use the current Dawson Creek & District Hospital.

Inside the new building, teams are setting up equipment and preparing rooms for patient care. Northern Health expects the hospital to open in early 2027 and will confirm the date as preparations progress.
