Old North End Needs Spelled Out

Common Council will be receiving a report tonight on the priorities for the old North End where 43.3 per cent of people who live there get by on low incomes with the median being just over 16 thousand 500 dollars a year.

The major priorities include pre-natal programmes which would include nutrition counselling, programmes aimed at getting young children ready to learn at school, expansion of recreational programming at the North End Community Centre, legal advice for teenagers and for adults, education and employment training along with addiction services.

Councillors will be told parents worry about the safety of their children when they're walking to the North End Community Centre.
