There was a new fire prevention inspector in town and he didn’t like what he saw. The addiction treatment centre was provided plenty of warning but couldn’t make the necessary changes. It had no money the required changes were substantial. After over twenty years of operations, the facility was shut down, eleven employees were laid off and a major treatment centre ceased operations. This was 2009.
Enter Longview Services Inc.
We worked with the fire department, liaised with the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care and listened to the charity.
Plans were drawn up, a building permit was issued and a public tender commenced. Construction lasted for almost three months. The facility reopened, staff returned and the process of admitting individuals began. The facility was much safer now and better suited the charity’s operations. Also, the small town in which this facility is located felt revitalized. Many people attended the reopening. And most important of all, the 300 plus men every year who receive treatment at this residential property had hope, as did their families.
This was a happy ending, a very happy ending. This is why we do what we do. We love making a difference for good.
