We Can, and We Will Rebuild!

It has been a year since a fire caused significant damage to our new Addiction Treatment Centre in Cambridge. Today, We are thrilled to be able to show you some of the progress that has been made on our new Addiction Treatment Centre in Cambridge.

What a difference a year makes! This transformation is thanks to your ongoing support.

Your support has seen us through three stages of this project:

1. When we were compelled to “dream bigger” and add a second floor to meet the needs of this community now and into the future.
2. When we had to rebuild after last year’s fire.
3. Today, as we work through the challenges and delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Through all of this, we were able to stay the course, because of you!

You have embraced this project from day one. You have seen the need for an Addiction Treatment Centre to provide improved privacy and dignity to those in our community who are struggling with addiction. You saw the challenges Waterloo Region was facing in light of the opioid epidemic, and you rose to meet that need. Thank you!

As a health-care building, construction continues through this pandemic.  We’re thankful for the capable team at Nith Valley Construction who are handling this challenging time with resilience and grace. We do anticipate a delay to our planned move-in date and will share new timing as soon as we are able.

Our Property Director, Colin, is delighted to give you a sneak peak of the building with this virtual tour to show the progress that has been made since last year’s fire.

Thank you for your ongoing support of this project – it couldn’t have happened without you!
