There is a new shelter for men over 19 with substance addiction in Prince Edward Island.
The provincial government has relocated addiction services offered at Deacon House to Smith Lodge at 35 Weymouth St. in Charlottetown. Smith Lodge was initially used as a shelter for men and women experiencing homelessness.
Back in March, Liberal MLA Gord McNeilly blamed the provincial government for neglecting addiction services on P.E.I., pointing to Deacon House in particular.
