A new Inn opens for Indigenous people travelling to St. John’s for medical treatment.
Indigenous people in Newfoundland and Labrador have a new place to stay when travelling to St. John’s for medical care, with the opening of the Lunar Inn on Quidi Vidi Road.
The Inn is operated by the non-profit organization First Light, whose goal is to help urban Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities alike.
With the Lunar Inn, the organization has a place for Indigenous medical patients to stay when they need to.
“It can be overwhelming to take time away from work and family at home to travel for days, weeks or months at a time.” Said Julia Andersen, the Inn’s guest services coordinator.
