It’s a great atmosphere and it passed the time for moi.
There’s always something to do at the Soup Kitchen.
On a few occasions someone would drop over some food or sandwiches from an event.
Last Sunday was no exception but it was different.
Some individuals showed up with sandwiches and told the staff that it was from the Methadone clinic.
Did I heard the word - Fund raising????
Fund raising for a methadone clinic????
Sounds like a good idea to me! This should have been done years ago because we have a major Dilaudid problem in this Province.
Today, I walked into the Detox section of the Methadone clinic and asked some questions.
They weren’t fund raising.
One client asked if it was possible for the clients and workers to go for a bike ride and that’s what they did.
A 30 km ride!!!
My first question -Were the government employees paid time and a half???
The answer was – No!!! They did it from the goodness in their heart!
I heard some bad stories once the methadone clinic was transferred to Government hands at the Old Victoria Hospital.
It used to be located a few blocks away and they had the help from a nurse from U.N.B.!
Well? Other clinic in Miramichi, Moncton and Saint John should follow the same fine example as the one in the Capital!
Good work!
