The Amethyst House has officially opened!

The building is located at 280 2nd Street in Courtenay. Local MLA Don McRae was on hand for the official ribbon cutting ceremony this morning.

McRae says the government of British Columbia pays for 9 of the beds, with work by the Comox Valley Transition Society and various other organizations adding in 3 extra beds as well.

McRae says addiction is no small issue, and the Amethyst House will help out not only those staying there, but their families and the entire Comox Valley as well.
