Welland is going to be the location of one of the provincial government’s new Homelessness and Addiction Recovery Treatment Hubs.
Yesterday, ‘Gateway of Niagara’ was announced as one of 18 new HART hub locations across the province, bringing the total to 27. MPP Sam Oosterhoff was joined at the funding announcement yesterday at Gateway Residential and Community Support Services in Welland by a number of local community leaders, including homelessness and addiction prevention advocates, Margaret Beaupre and Shelly Mousseau, as well as Jim Bradley, Chair of the Regional Municipality of Niagara; Mat Siscoe, Mayor of the City of St. Catharines; Bill Steele, Mayor of the City of Port Colborne, and Adam Moote, Deputy Mayor of the City of Welland.
Over $500-million is being invested to create these centres, including nearly $20-million in Niagara alone.
