Ottawa's Montfort Hospital. Serving the francophone population since 1953 and includes the military hospital wing since 2009.
Recommended for closure by the Harris Government in 1997, the S.O.S. Montfort movement, led by Ottawa's francophone community, was quickly founded to fight the decision. In 1999, the S.O.S. Montfort wins the Ontario Divisional Court and the following appeal in 2001. (note, Harris successfully closed two hospitals in Ottawa, the Riverside, which became medical offices, and Grace, subsequently demolished).
Over the following decade, under the Dalton McGuinty Government, the hospital underwent a massive expansion.
