A proposal to build a cancer patient lodge at Alward Park will go to a public hearing after city council passed the relevant rezoning bylaw through first and second reading.
The plan is to build a 38-bed, 18-room facility to provide accommodation for patients at the new Cancer Centre of the North.
In exchange for losing Alward Park, the city will gain the site of the old Duchess Park high school which will be converted into a park complete with playing fields, one of which may be an all-weather field made out of artificial turf.
