The Northway Wellness Centre opens this week in Sault Ste. Marie, offering a calm environment for residential withdrawal management. Clean North has played a significant role in this community-driven project, donating 100 trees to help create a healing outdoor space.
Many partners have come together to ensure the Centre meets high standards and benefits our community. Clean North has donated around 100 trees and 250 volunteer hours to manage and plant these trees, optimizing the outdoor space at Northway Wellness Centre.
A Clean North volunteer expressed their motivation, saying, "This facility is for the benefit of our community, so it is rewarding to contribute as a community member to make it the best it can be."
Among the trees planted are around 85 eastern white cedars, ranging from 1.5 to 3.5 meters in height, and 15 northern red oak seedlings. Clean North received these white cedars in the 1990s and early 2000s as surplus from terminated Ministry of Natural Resources research projects. Clean North nurtured and cared for the cedars at the Sault Ste. Marie forest research arboretum for the past 20-30 years.
Clean North's donation was made possible through collaboration with local initiatives and demonstrates the community's support for Sault Area Hospital and its services. We'd like to thank:
