The Arthur JE Children’s Comprehensive Cancer Centre, also known as the Calgary Cancer Center (CCC), opened to patients on Monday.

Alberta Health Services said the first transfers on Monday will be outpatient services as the process will be phased in.

The new facility has 160 inpatient beds, more than 90 chemotherapy chairs and 12 radiation therapy vaults.

It also has a state-of-the-art research centre.

The project first broke ground in 2017 during Rachel Notley’s NDP government and cost $1.4 billion.

This is one of the largest government infrastructure projects in the state’s history.

CCC will need more than 200 volunteers.
