Three New Brunswick programs will get a share of the $8 million the federal government announced Friday for substance use and additions projects in Atlantic Canada.
Moncton-Dieppe MP Ginette Petitpas Taylor, who made the announcement in Moncton, said the government takes a holistic approach to addressing help for addictions.
“Prevention, treatment, harm-reduction measures all have a role to play,” she said. “It’s not that we have one single solution.”
In Moncton, the Young Women’s Christian Association of Moncton will get more than $540,000 for its Pathways program helping women and gender-diverse people succeed in long-term sobriety, she said.
