Now the main entrance to the Queen Victoria Hospital, the Canadian Wing was opened in 1944, having been built by the Royal Canadian Air Force and paid for by the Canadian government in recognition of the large number of Canadian servicemen who had been treated at the hospital during the Second World War.
