Community Hub In order to keep the Nipissing Gateway Hub running, the group will need funding from a different source this year.

The Gateway Hub combines the efforts of multiple organizations to help those who are at risk in the community.

Police Chief Paul Cook says over the last two years funding came in from the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services – but, he says they were not successful in their application for the grant this year.

He says they are looking into other options, but there’s also hope more funding becomes available across the province as this program becomes more widely used. Cook says community safety and well-being is now becoming more recognized as a shared responsibility.

He says this could hopefully lead to better sustainable funding across the province.
