Sarnia’s Mayor is disappointed the creation of a local multi-service youth hub has been delayed by a year or more.

Wednesday, Mike Bradley was one of the few Lambton County Councillors voting to support a grant request of $321,000 to help Sarnia-Lambton Rebound with the project.

The hub for 16/17 year-old youth in Sarnia-Lambton would localize resources from its 20 community partners under one roof.

Mayor Bradley says the group can make another grant request next year.

“This was a collaborative effort by a number of agencies in the community that came together and said we’re all doing our best but there’s a gap here and we need to address this with a certain segment of young people,” says Bradley.
