ATIKOKAN, ONT.—The province of Ontario is investing up to $11.3 million at the Atikokan General Hospital, which will go towards building a new addition and renovating the existing space.
Through this project, about 6,200 square feet of the existing facility will be renovated and about 8,900 square feet will be added, reads a release.
