IO and WAHA signed a development phase agreement with Pomerleau in January 2023 following a request for proposals process that began in January 2022.

Throughout the development phase, Pomerleau Inc. worked collaboratively with IO and WAHA as well as with the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Long-Term Care and Indigenous Services Canada, to define and refine project requirements to advance the design and confirm fixed pricing, adds the release.
