CONSTRUCTION governments and institutions .
One of Ledcor ’ s current projects is the $ 260 million Royal Alberta Art Museum in the heart of downtown Edmonton .
“[ The museum ] truly expresses our province ’ s history , landscapes and potential ,” says Ray Danyluk , Minister of Infrastructure in Alberta . “ The concept leaves no doubt that the Ledcor team understands Alberta , and Albertans .”
Slated for opening in December 2017 , to coincide with Canada ’ s 150th anniversary , the museum is expected to become a globally iconic institution .
“ Like our province , our new museum will represent the best of what the world has to offer , celebrating our past , our present and our future ,” says Danyluk .
Ledcor continues to transform communities beyond Edmonton with the same entrepreneurial spirit that has characterized Alberta .
In Toronto , Ledcor and EllisDon partnered to build the new Canary District for the Athlete ’ s Village for the 2015 Pan Am / Parapan Am Games . Following the Games , the five-block mixeduse development will be converted into a new , integrated community with affordable housing , student residences , retail space and a YMCA .
The Canary District project was built by the EllisDon Ledcor PAAV Inc . joint venture . The partnership combined a wealth of experience to ensure the Canary District satisfied the highest construction standards .
On the west coast , Ledcor ’ s ongoing work to build the BC Children ’ s and BC Women ’ s Hospital takes on a different type of partnership . CWH Design-Build GP , a 50 / 50 joint venture between Ledcor and Balfour Beatty , was awarded the $ 350 million PPP project .
“ We are pleased to be part of this project that will bring world-class care for children , youth , women and families across British Columbia for years to come ,” says Peter Hrdlitschka , President of Ledcor Construction .
“ Our consortium ’ s combined experience includes completing 36 children ’ s hospitals and eight women ’ s healthcare projects ,” says Hrdlitschka .
