Hey there, time traveller!

An additional 513 addictions treatment spaces have been designated for Winnipeg as part of the provincial government’s promise to add 1,000 treatment spaces in Manitoba.
Thursday’s announcement about the new spaces for the province’s capital city, builds on previous investments of $8.7 million for publicly funded treatment spaces in rural and northern Manitoba, which was announced on June 8.
The spaces will give all Manitobans, regardless of their financial situations, the opportunity to recover and build better lives, said Mental Health and Community Wellness Minister Janice Morley-Lecomte.
Previously announced investments for Prairie Mountain Health, Northern, and Interlake-Eastern health regions included funding of $3.3 million for 835 new treatment spaces.
In Prairie Mountain Health, that will include funding for 125 mobile withdrawal management spaces based out of Brandon and 60 programming spaces for the Recovery Education for Addictions and Complex Trauma program.
