Next year there will be a beacon of hope for at-risk youth in Saint John. That from Safe Harbour Project Coordinator Colin MacDonald.
In a year-end interview he tells us about impact of the youth shelter that will be opening next year.
He says 2013 is the last year homeless youth will be turned away.
"In the summer of 2014 we'll be able to open our doors and start providing residential services to young people at risk," he says.
This year saw lots of community interest in the project, from Safe Harbour making it past the first round in the Aviva Community Fund, to the New Brunswick Children's Association giving them more than 37-thousand-dollars for the project.
