We begin our week with a letter to the editor from The Women’s Centre Grey Bruce, which has faced public scrutiny in recent weeks following the disappearance of a youth connected to its Studio Blue Youth Services program.
While the centre was unable to respond during the active investigation, its leadership has now come to The Owen Sound Current to share their perspective.
In this letter, Executive Director Heather Sheldrick responds to criticisms, explains the role and limitations of the program, and advocates for a respectful and privacy-focused approach to supporting vulnerable youth.
OPP West Region published a renewed appeal for information yesterday after the teen went missing under different circumstances again over the weekend. See that notice and sharing options here.
