Brantford, ON – The independent Task Force leading the Brant Community Healthcare System site identification process for a new hospital has officially issued a Call for Land, inviting interested landowners to submit their sites for consideration as the future home of the new hospital serving Brantford-Brant and surrounding communities.
Interested landowners are encouraged to review the full submission details through BCHS’s Biddingo portal [Biddingo :: Bid Details] and submit their Stage 1 proposals before the posted deadline of February 10, 2026, at 15:00 PM EST.
The Call for Land process will unfold in two phases:
- Stage 1: Sites will be reviewed to determine if they satisfy the mandatory criteria as outlined in the submission details
- Stage 2: Sites that satisfy the mandatory criteria will advance to a shortlist and be scored against a set of evaluated criteria as outlined in the submission details
“We’re asking landowners across Brantford-Brant who have sites that meet the criteria we’re looking for to put forward their sites for consideration,” said Don Shilton, Chair of the site identification Task Force. “The community has helped us define what matters most, and now we’re ready to find the site that will serve our region for generations to come. I’m confident we’ll find a great location for the new hospital.”
This milestone follows a month-long community consultation held in September on the draft land evaluation criteria. The Task Force is grateful to everyone who shared their input – community members, TeamBCHS, local organizations, subject matter experts, municipalities, and First Nations and local Indigenous communities. Your feedback helped shape the final set of criteria that will guide the fair and transparent evaluation of all sites submitted.
It is anticipated that the Task Force will make a recommendation to the BCHS Board of Directors in Spring 2026.
