Thunder Bay - Crossroads Centre is relocating to its new permanent home on May 8, 2025. Located at 667 Sibley Drive, Crossroads Centre will continue to provide pre- and post-treatment care, supporting people in their addictions recovery journey.
Construction has been underway at the new site since December 2024, with clients and staff providing their insight and guidance as part of the planning process. "Having a space designed specifically to meet client needs with input from clients and staff makes a huge difference," said Andrea Docherty, Vice President Clinical & Community Care.
