opening of the Sarnia Lambton Youth Wellness Hub<\/a>, located at the corner of Front and Lochiel Streets in downtown Sarnia.<\/p>\n“Last year, we saw 700 unique youth at the site, but how many youth we’re able to service always depends on how much funding we receive,” Ross said. “So\u00a0in\u00a0order to continue to see that many youth or more, we\u00a0would need to see continued\u00a0funding\u00a0come into\u00a0the project.”<\/p>\n
Aside from raising money to expand and support youth programming, the upcoming golf tournament acts as a way to raise awareness of the welcoming space.<\/p>\n

Thank you to all who have signed up to support this great event and cause!\u201d<\/p>\n
The tournament will feature a shotgun start at 1 p.m., with registration beginning at 11:30 a.m. There will be a cocktail reception, food stations on the course, and prizes up for grabs.<\/p>\n
