News Releases

CALGARY, July 6, 2011 /CNW/ - The Churchill Corporation (TSX: CUQ, CUQ.DB) ("Churchill" or the "Corporation") today announced that Alberta Infrastructure has selected Stuart Olson Dominion Construction Ltd. ("SODCL"), Churchill's general contracting segment, as the construction manager for three hospital projects valued at $421 million. This amount includes the planning, design and construction process for these projects, so the amount that SODCL books to backlog when the contracts are executed may vary from this amount. The hospitals are located in Medicine Hat, Lethbridge and Edson, Alberta.

The $200 million redevelopment of the Medicine Hat Regional Hospital involves expanding space for ambulatory care and maternity services, as well as the emergency department and operating rooms. Also, the hospital's mechanical and electrical systems will be upgraded. Construction is expected to begin this fall. The project is planned to be brought on-stream in phases, beginning in 2013 and ending in 2015.

The $113 million redevelopment of Chinook Regional Hospital in Lethbridge involves renovation of a significant portion of the hospital and the addition of a new multi-storey wing to expand the emergency department and inpatient areas, as well as women's health and neonatal units. Construction is expected to begin this fall and completion is anticipated in 2013.

The $108 million new Edson Healthcare Center will support the delivery of quality health services to the people of Edson and surrounding communities, reducing wait times and improving access for Albertans. To replace the existing Edson Healthcare Centre, the new facility will be built on a new site with construction expected to start in 2012 and completion anticipated in the spring of 2014.

SODCL has also received awards for three commercial developments in British Columbia and one commercial project in Alberta valued at approximately $100 million.

"The robust macroeconomics of Western Canada are driving the need for new infrastructure and commercial development and Stuart Olson Dominion's talented project teams are rising to the challenge," said Jim Houck, Churchill's CEO. "We are very proud of our people; winning three of the five Alberta hospitals that were up for tender is a tremendous accomplishment."
