As part of the Erie Shores 2050 initiative, we are launching a series of public consultations across all Essex County municipalities. We believe that community input is vital to the success of our planning process, and we invite you to share your thoughts, ideas, and concerns.
The Ministry of Health’s Capital Planning Process has five stages and is a requirement of the Ministry of Health. Each stage builds on information developed in the one before and moves from planning through design and implementation. Government approvals are required at various stages of the process and community engagement is essential and will take place at each step of the process.
The Proposal identifies the next major project initiative. If the Proposal is approved then the Ministry typically provides a planning grant for Stage 2.
Stage 2 | Functional Program
The Functional Program is a detailed description of the programs to be delivered, the workload and staffing associated with those programs and major equipment and space requirements. If approved, the Ministry typically provides a planning grant for Stages 3 and 4.
