Ontario Government Hospital 1939-2013. The Ontario Government Hospital opened in April 1939 and in the early years had around 2400 patients. The site had 460 acres of land and produced much of its own food. During the war years the patients were shipped out and the site was used as a training center for the RCAF. After the war the hospital was returnrd to the patients which numbered about 1100. Over the years the hospital has seen many changes due to medical advances. There are tunnels under the hospital that go under the road to what I believe was a nurses' residence. The number of patients has continued to decline over the years, with only a couple of programs still remaining. The hospital is due to close in June 2013.
