Fellowship Centre Winter Project
The Fellowship Center on Water Street will continue its emergency drop-in facility this winter despite a lack of funding.
The provincial government had been providing some job-training money to the group for the past three year.
Colin Wasacase is member of the Board of the Fellowship Center and says that source of funding recently dried up.
Wasacase says they plan to start up a campaign in the new year to try and get local agencies and businesses to provide funding for their "Winter Project".
