Federal government says funds will help the Go-Give mobile outreach project to continue its work of providing support and service to people with addictions
More than $930,000 in federal funding to support people at risk of opioid-related harms in the Sudbury area was announced at a news conference Monday.
"So the toxic drug and overdose crisis continues to exact a heavy toll on every part of the country, including right here in Sudbury," Lapointe told the gathering. She said the funding provided to Go-Give of Sudbury is a deliberate effort to help those agencies that can provide direct help to the clients in need.
