$4,000 will help Harewood crisis centre get off ground
The proposed Harewood Crisis Walk-In Centre has received a grant from the City of Nanaimo for renovations, all it needs now is a place to renovate. “We had a place but it fell through,” said Ian Gartshore, Shore Counselling’s executive director. “We originally thought the crisis centre would open in May but I’d be a foolish optimist to think that at this point.” The city awarded the program $4,000 for renovations to separate the counselling waiting room from the counselling office.
