AARC gets provincial funding for new facility
Last Updated: Friday, May 7, 2004 | 1:11 PM MT
CBC News
The government is contributing $2 million for a major expansion of the Alberta Adolescent Recovery Centre.

The centre needs $8 million to set up a second facility, and had already raised $4 million through private and corporate donations. It is looking at using a building next door to the existing centre, which would allow them to accommodate a total of 60 families, to duplicate services.

Dr. Dean Vause, executive director of the AARC, says the centre is running above capacity, with a waiting list of families looking for help.

Vause says Edmonton, Vancouver and Toronto are interested in developing similar centres, and will be watching the duplication project to see if it's successful.

More than 250 teenagers from across Canada, and some from the U.S. and England, since the program's inception in 1992, Vause said.



This was 2004.

Why do they have less than 40 clients? It seems like a lot of buildings and arenas for an average classroom size of kids.

Isn't the government wondering what happened to their money?
