Opening of sobering centre in Prince George staggers behind schedule
PRINCE GEORGE – A new sobering centre is still months away from opening in downtown Prince George with the expected opening nearly a year behind schedule.
The new facility was announced in June 2022 by the then Minister of Mental Health and Addictions Sheila Malcolmson with an expected opening date of ‘early Fall 2022.’
According to Northern Health, selecting an operator for the site is still ongoing, with expectations to open the beds to those needing them this summer.
