The Big Move is Over

We've Moved

As of May 16th, Ronald McDonald House Hamilton is now exclusively a construction site. Families have been moved to the Visitors Inn (just down the street, and staff/volunteers are working both from the Ronald McDonald House Family Room (in McMaster Hospital) and our temporary location at 1175 Wilson St. E. (5 minutes from the House)
Construction and renovation have already begun inside the House and for those of you who have experienced our less-than-ideal heating/cooling system, you will be happy to know that our HVAC was the firts item to be ripped out.
As for the building, it is going up quickly. Our first floor now has been poured and we are starting to get an idea of just how big the new House will be. It all goes up from here!
NOT-SO-FUN-FACT: In th epast 4 weeks, we've lost more construction days to rain than we lost to snow over the entire winter!

Completion is still on target for the Fall.
