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.
“It was my hope to have all of Atlantic open… I wasn’t able to get full agreement from one premier.” Single-dose vaccine recipients coming from New Brunswick must isolate for one week and receive two negative tests, one upon entry and another at day five or six. Those with both vaccine doses can exit isolation after receiving one negative COVID-19 test, and unvaccinated travellers must quarantine for two weeks. These same restrictions will be in place for all other Canadian travelers beginning June 30. Visitors from Newfoundland and Labrador are welcome to visit the province without any restrictions, forming a fragmented Atlantic bubble reboot tomorrow, Wednesday, June 23. Prince Edward Islanders are already permitted into Nova Scotia sans quarantine.
