Federal Minister of Mental Health and Addictions Ya’ara Saks announced funding for the Undercurrent Youth Centre in Glace Bay this morning.
Saks says Glace Bay is the first of six communities getting money through the Youth Substance Use Prevention Program.
She says Undercurrent is getting more than 100-thousand dollars over two years.
Saks says the goal of the program is to keep young people busy and out of trouble.
