Writer retracts comment

Editor:

I had a discussion with Dr. Tailfeathers and she stated that the 91 deaths in Lethbridge were not just drug addicts but were also the sick and suicides. She used the number 91 in the video saying the 91 died because the SCS closed. I never got a chance to ask more about the issue but I assume she actually meant to say ARCHES which offered more than just the SCS services.

I questioned  the number because it was not the correct SCS number. In the context of ARCHES Services, which was not mentioned in the video, Dr. Tailfeathers’ number was the correct one. Rather than create an irrelevant argument over building names ARCHES vs SCS, I will retract my comment regarding the numbers and apologize. I easily could have made the same building name substitution mistake and not been aware of it!
