Fairhaven residents raise safety concerns about new Emergency Wellness Center
Kirton said that the new location will be far different from the First Avenue location.“It’s a four and a half acre property; it’s fenced. I heard today from STC Chief Mark Arcand that peacekeepers are going to be manning all the gates, who’s going in and who’s going out.”
“Once we get all of the information out there to the residents, I hope there will be a different attitude in the neighbourhood.”Superintendent Cameron McBride, in charge of patrol and patrol support division, said the current center is housing around 70 individuals. He said that groups of people have also taken to gathering on the sidewalk outside of the wellness center.“Some of those individuals are associated to the wellness center specifically and accessing services there, and some are not.
