South Okanagan-West Kootenay MP Richard Cannings said there is a misinformed and very unfortunate view among many in our communities that these people chose that path and don’t deserve our concern.
Last year, Gord Portman saved two people in a house fire in Penticton.
When he saw his picture in the local newspaper, he said to himself ‘Oh boy I need help.” Gord was addicted to drugs. So he turned to Discovery House, a local organization that helps men battle their addictions, and he now thanks Discovery House for saving his life.
