St. Joe's working to solve detox problem
Talks are going on behind the scenes to get more beds at the Balmoral Detox Centre. There has been a cry from Police Chief Bob Herman for more beds to help solve a shortage which he says hinders police on a regular basis. In a presentation to city councillors St. Joseph's Care Group president and CEO Tracy Buckler said that increasing capacity is always a challenge because it requires funding. She says there have been some early discussions with the police and the city to see what can be done to make that happen.
