Construction is underway at the South Okanagan General Hospital in Oliver to create three new emergency drop-off parking stalls.

Paving will take place until Oct. 2, and once it is complete, a rainbow crosswalk will be painted in front of the emergency department as a symbol of inclusion.

During the construction, the emergency room entrance will be temporarily closed. Anyone needing to access the hospital is asked to use the main entrance.

The parking lot is accessible in a vehicle via Spillway Road during construction.
