Portage, the substance abuse program for young people, is celebrating the Grand Opening of its new center at Cassidy Lake in Norton.
Geordie Gould, Director of the Portage Atlantic Center, says the new facility has a different room for every function.
Gould says the Center is one of the best in the country and hopes it will bring new beginnings for many young people.
Gould also says the new facility can also house 60 people comfortably, whereas the old one could only accommodate 40.
Liam McCarthy is a resident at the center and says Portage has allowed him to reconnect with his parents and sisters.
He's now looking forward to going back to university to get a degree in business management.
