Visiting Hours & Parking
As part of Runnymede Healthcare Centre’s ongoing facility improvement and beautification work, construction will be taking place in the front roundabout beginning Wednesday, September 16, 2026. The work is expected to be completed within approximately two weeks.
During the construction period, the following temporary access arrangements will be inplace:
Patient drop-off and pick-up:
Patients and families are strongly encouraged to use the rear entrance off of Runnymede Rd for drop-off and pick-up wherever possible. The front driveway will remain accessible only for emergency vehicles and necessary patient drop-off/pick-up.
Pedestrian access:
Pedestrians must use the marked pedestrian pathway. For safety, please do not walk through or across the roundabout construction area.
Balcony access:
Access to some balconies may be temporarily restricted on certain construction days. Advance notice will be provided when restrictions are required.
Construction noise:
Some construction-related noise should be expected during working hours. We appreciate everyone’s patience while this work is completed.
The constructor will have a flag person on site, together with Runnymede Security during regular working hours, to assist with the safe movement of pedestrians and vehicles.
If you have any questions, please contact communications@runnymedehc.ca
