In September 2008 the Canadian Mental Health Association purchased the Balmoral Hotel building on Haliburton Street in Nanaimo for the purposes of providing supportive housing and outreach. Christina Martens, CMHA’s Mid-Island Branch executive director, said that the organization had invested in the community and was looking forward to being a good neighbour, despite hearing some initial concerns about the plans.
We share a tour of the Balmoral Hotel building we took earlier this week with Christina Martens, of the Canadian Mental Health Association’s Mid-Island Branch.
