NIMBY IN NORTH VAN

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR FRIENDS & COLLEAGUES AT TURNING POINT, WHO ARE ABOUT TO OPEN A NEW RECOVERY CENTRE IN NORTH VANCOUVER AND ARE FACING LOCAL OPPOSITION.

Turning Point has been a major and thorough contributor to treatment and recovery in B.C. for many years. I have never heard of one untoward incident springing from their residences.

Folks in the proposed new North Van neighbourhood are understandably jittery, because they hear "drug addict or alcoholic" and panic.

Here is a recent email from Executive Director Brenda Plant:

On another front, not sure if you’ve been following the news lately, but if there are North Shore residents in the Network that might be able to come out and support us next week, we’d be very grateful. Please see attached and below, thanks.



The public meeting will be held this Thursday, February 19th at Parkgate Community Centre (3625 Banff Court, North Vancouver) at 6:30.

Let's be there and support Recovery.
