Winkler and District Health Care Board announces a significant expansion of its footprint in the ALG Professional Centre.

The Health Care Board was offered the opportunity to purchase 14 units totalling 16,500 square feet in the ALG Professional Centre building, downtown Winkler, within which the CW Medical Centre operates.  We completed the purchase in the fall of 2022.  These units include health related organizations such as dental offices, chiropractic, and hearing services as well as businesses such as a restaurant, financial institution, insurance agency and others.  This asset purchase, including the well-established business tenant group will allow the Health Care Board to provide effective and accessible primary health care clinic space capacity well into the future.

The AL Group of Companies led by Alvin and Arlen Thiessen meets with the Health Care Board executive to finalize the purchase of the remaining share of the ALG Professional Centre including a generous contribution back to the organization.
