Closing of the Detox Centre

[tilma]

Do you guys have an opinion on the looming closure of the Iridian Youth Detox Centre? I would be interested in how you prodevelopers see that issue...
For some background info see:
Capitol News - Jennifer Smith reported “City’s Only Youth Detox Centre Faces Closure” in the Capitol News on June 17th, 2005.
The Province - [e-mail] reported “Crystal Meth: Campbell Takes Stand” dated Sunday May 8, 2005 .
I think that our City Council needs to step up to the plate and bring forward some cash...

We feel that the closuring of the teen detox centre is a mistake and we call for the federal government to restore funding to it. But in the short term we definitely agree that the city and the Interior Health Authority should come up with some money to assist in the running of the facility. Then at the same time, be in discussion with both the Federal and Provincial governments to secure some sort of long term funding.

But I fail to see how the correlation of the detox centre and calling us “prodevelopers” come in to play. So if you can explain that to me, that would be wonderful.

I agree
