Vital People: New van will help Sanctuary Youth Centre get kids out in nature
Posted: Jun. 25, 2023 6:06PM“There’s been a lot of times when my car has been very, very, very full and a lot of kilometres,” saysFor the last nine years, staff have been using their own vehicles to transport youth, pick up weekly food orders, and even help kids move.
“We want to take them to experience the outdoors, to get out and to get it away from the downtown core, which I think can often feed a lot of unhealthy behaviour,” Sanctuary executive director Darin Reimer says. Despite being surrounded by beauty, many of the struggling kids they work with rarely get a chance to experience the outdoors.
“Prior to that, he overdosed four times,” Darin explains. “We nearly lost him four times. And when I overdose, I mean he was within minutes of dying and thankfully that we were able to administer Naloxone.”
