Providence Care Hospital Photo Contest

Each wing of the new Providence Care Hospital is named after the location it is closest to on the King Street West site – Heritage, next to the stone, heritage buildings on the site, Lakeview for the connection to the water of Lake Ontario, and Parkside – next to the grassy, natural areas of Lake Ontario Park.

We want you to make your mark on the new hospital by featuring your photography as design elements in each of the wings.

Send us your best nature photos depicting Heritage, Lakeview and Parkside and you could have your picture showcased in the new Providence Care Hospital!

Plus, Providence Care staff members who enter the contest will be entered into the Redevelopment Grand Prize Draw.

Enter your nature photos representing Heritage, Lakeview or Parkside to info@providencecare.ca by November 30, 2015. Read the Rules and Regulations for full entry details.
