Dear Editor,
The open letter from Richmond School Board chair, Ken Hammaguchi, to parents and guardians was much appreciated.
He recognizes the importance of maintaining communication with Richmond residents during this time of insecurity and unpredictability.
In the short time that has elapsed since his letter, the general thinking has shifted from hoping the disruption in our lives will be short lived to a more realistic projection of several months to come.
In my role as president of the Board of Directors of Richmond Addictions Services Society (RASS), I would like to expand and encourage reassurances to our community.
RASS serves young people up to the age of 24 along with Richmond’s older population, 55+.
Our mandate is to provide expertise in preventing and treating addiction in our community.
At this time of great vulnerability, I would like to remind everyone that our organization has over 40 years of experience in the prevention and treatment of addiction, and our staff is proud to provide a quick response and easy access to all requests for support.
If you or a loved one need help, RASS can be contacted by phone at 604 270-9220 or by email at [email protected].
Dianne (Dilts) Milsom
President
Richmond Addictions Service Society
