Province selects north end location for Red Deer’s recovery centre
A 75-bed recovery community will be located on the northern edge of Red Deer.
A 10-acre parcel of land in the Chiles Industrial Park, directly adjacent to Highway 2A, will be home to the eventual facility, for which provincial funding was announced last year.
“Supporting people to find their path to long-term recovery remains a commitment of our government – but we can’t reach this goal alone,” Jason Luan, Associate Minister of Mental Health and Addictions, said in a release Friday. “Thank you to the City of Red Deer for their dedication to working together to find a site that considers the needs of those seeking support, businesses, local residents and the community as a whole.”
The province’s commitment announced last July is $5 million.
