Island Health is looking for an operator for a Sobering Assessment Centre in Campbell River.

The Health Authority has issued an request for proposal to provide the service.

Project Manager Shana Hall says they're looking for a community-based site and service to deliver the Sobering and Assessment Program. This would allow people who are experiencing intoxication to stay in a safe, warm environment.
