Job Description

Through its core values of Courage, Respect and Excellence, CAMH is implementing its Strategic Plan: Connected CAMH, to transform lives, ignite innovation and discovery, revolutionize education and drive social change.

Phase 1B was occupied in July 2012 and CHS’s maintenance contract is for 30 years post 2012 and covers ‘hard’ FM Services. Phase 1C (650,000 sqft) was signed with Plenary Health. Substantial Completion for Phase 1C was achieved in September 2020 and CAMH occupied the new facilities in November 2020.
