Shriners Reconsider London for Kids' Hospital

Hold the phone on London not getting the new Shriners Hospital for Children.

The Montreal Gazette is reporting high level Shriners are again threatening to pull out of Montreal and build the new hospital in London.

The paper says the Shiners feel the Quebec government and the McGill Health Centre did not follow through on promises the centre made.

A major problem is apparently McGill's announcement it won't clean up a portion of a contaminated site where the a new hospital is to be built in Montreal.

As a result senior Shriner Gene Bracewell says the London proposal -dead since 2005 - will likely be reconsidered.
