CENTRE OFFERS CAPE BRETON VETERANS MARIJUANA THERAPY

Fabian Henry returned home to Cape Breton on Monday for the opening 
of a new veterans support centre that has a special focus on medical 
marijuana treatment.

The CEO and founder of Marijuana for Trauma Inc./Veterans Helping 
Veterans is now based in New Brunswick but is originally from New 
Waterford. He served with the Canadian Forces for 13 years as a 
combat engineer before being released for post-traumatic stress 
disorder in 2012.

In attendance for the official opening of the Sydney chapter of 
Marijuana for Trauma Inc./Veterans Helping Veterans on Kings Road, 
Henry said the location is now the fourth of its kind in Canada.

"There's going to be a lot of healing happening here through cannabis 
therapy and peer support therapy," he said, noting the centre is 
funded mainly by donations that can be made at www.veteransforhealing.ca
