Labrador Friendship Centre Undergoing Major Repairs

The Labrador Friendship Centre (or LFC) is still undergoing major repairs to their hostel.

The LFC is located on 49 Grenfell Street in Happy Valley Goose Bay and is operational year round.

We spoke with Executive Director Jennifer Hefler-Elson.

She says the centre contains 12 rooms, which host a total of 24 beds in the hostel area.

Right now there are 4 rooms in the facility that are still undergoing emergency repairs.

So only 8 rooms are available for use due to a leakage problem.

The leakage problem is caused by ice and show buildup on the roof.

Hefler-Elson says the problem first began on February 17, 2015.

The Labrador Friendship Centre is still open and running and is continuing their services.
