NO DETOX IN ARMY'S PLANS

Editor, The News:

The Salvation Army appreciates the opportunity to respond to the letters to
the editor that have presented incorrect information regarding the
Salvation Army's intention for its present location on Cyril Street.

The Salvation Army does not intend to make the bridge house on Cyril Street
into a detox centre, a treatment centre, a needle exchange or a safe
injection site.

Rather, the Salvation Army is proposing a bridge residence to provide
supportive housing to nine men who successfully graduate from a treatment
centre and are coming back into our community. This bridge residence will
provide semi-independent living with supportive services including
employment and education counselling and job preparation.

For more information regarding the Salvation Army's bridge house project,
please do not hesitate to call (604-852-9305).
