It could be a decade or more before Kenora gets a new hospital.
That's the suggestion of the Chief Executive Officer of Lake of the Woods District.
Marc Belcaen says with the recent austerity measures of the provincial government, even hospital projects that had previously approved are being delayed due to a lack of funding.
In the meantime, Belcaen says they need to improve their surgical units, but the Ministry of Health says it doesn't have a lot of money for smaller capital projects.
