The Wellbriety Centre, which is housed in the Polaris 5 building on the former UCN campus on Princeton Drive, is looking to expand its services.

Danielle Jenner, a coordinator with the Centre, shares some of their future plans.

“Our goal is to move in the next couple of years to Polaris 4 which is the building behind our building. We have funding right now in trust for a IPDA unit which is the Intoxicated Persons Detention Act. It’ll be more of a wrap around service, just a place for people to lay their head and then offer case work support while they are there.”

Jenner added Building 6 will be developed for transitional housing and programming will provide life-skills development and get people ready for when they leave the facility to go out on their own.

She also said the Wellbriety Centre has just received approval to use a mini-lodge already on site for cultural practices, and they plan to do outreach with individuals on the street and in encampments around the city.
