The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health Toron

Toronto, Nov. 03, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Canadian Council for Public-Private Partnerships (CCPPP) is proud to announce that The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) is the Silver Award recipient in the Project Development category of the 2017 National Awards for Innovation and Excellence in Public-Private Partnerships (P3s).

The CCPPP Awards Committee received submissions from across the country, representing a broad range of high quality P3 projects. The committee noted that the CAMH project excelled in its extensive plans to integrate new buildings with the surrounding community to create a more inclusive environment. 

In addition, the Committee members noted “the project required an enhanced contractual and risk allocation structure as a result of directly interfacing with existing CAMH facilities and with a P3 Project Company involved with an earlier phase of development.”   

Since their inception in 1998, the annual CCPPP awards are a coveted seal of excellence. The 20 ^th Annual CCPPP National Awards celebration will be held on Monday, November 6 ^th , 2017 at the 25 ^th CCPPP Annual Conference at the Sheraton Centre Hotel in downtown Toronto.
