Chief Paul CookIn order for the Community Gateway Hub to continue to operate here they will need to find funding through the LHIN or in the form of a Trillium Grant.

Those are the options, says Police Chief Paul Cook as they were not successful in getting a grant through the Ministry of Safety and Correctional Services – one they received over the last few years.

Cook says they want to continue the success of the Gateway Hub.

Cook says stable funding for this program is a challenge, but the hub utilizes 18 community agencies coming together at one table and have found a lot of success.

He says they hope it is something that can continue.

Cook says the major expense is in the salary and benefits of the project manager.
