Bay Bulls council has approved the operation of a mental health clinic on Southside Road.
Deputy Mayor Jason O’Brien, during last week’s public meeting, moved that council approve the business application for a mental health counseling clinic for 151 Southside Road, adding the service will benefit the region as a whole.
Councillor Ethan Williams seconded the motion.
“God knows there are a lot of people that are struggling that may go unnoticed by the community, especially here in a small town,” said Williams. “A lot of people are fighting those battles (with mental health) so a big thank you to the applicant for taking the initiative to start this here in the community.”
Mayor Keith O’Driscoll concurred with his colleagues, and the application passed unanimously, excepting that councillors Corey Ronayne and Jason Sullivan were absent from the meeting.
