Congratulations to Andrew B.! ❤️

Andrew is a friendly, youthful, and compassionate man who made a positive impression on everyone during his stay. He was kind, respectful, and always willing to go out of his way to help others. Andrew stayed on the path the entire time and was well liked by everyone around him.

It was wonderful to have his family attend, along with his beautiful fiancée. Since Andrew is local, we hope he continues to visit us, stay connected, and remain part of the Miklat community. We are so proud of you, Andrew, and we look forward to seeing the wedding photos!

🎓 Congratulations to Russ and Mikey on their graduation! 🎓

It has been an absolute privilege to walk alongside both of these men during their time with us.

Russ was truly an amazing client to have in the program. He brought leadership, humour, wisdom, and heart into the house every day. He became a father figure to many, and it was easy to see why everyone loved and respected him so much. Russ is funny, smart, kind, and steady, and we were especially grateful to have his family there to celebrate with him, including his two sons.

Mikey may be a quieter guy, but he has a strong presence in his own way. He is intelligent, friendly, thoughtful, and a wonderful person to be around. We really enjoyed having him as part of the program and seeing him reach this milestone.

Russ has moved on to second-stage housing following treatment, and Mikey has headed up north to work. We will miss them both very much, but we are proud of the steps they are taking and excited for what lies ahead.

Congratulations, Russ and Mikey. We wish you both continued strength, success, and happiness on the road ahead. You will always be part of the Miklat family. 💙

First floor of the new sober living house is now nearly all painted. Just the kitchen, trim, and basement to go. Big thank you to Dan F and a crew of volunteer painters from Mcguffie and Arbutus. Dan is a painting machine!! 💪 9 more beds coming online to support men coming out of treatment.

Hopefully a woman's program is coming soon! ❤️ 🙏

Alright, it's time to get back to graduation videos with a heavy hitter, Antony!!!

Antony is a natural leader, very dedicated to his recovery, and is a very hardworking individual with strong morals. He impressed us all and we were grateful to know that he will be the house manager at the new sober living house opening soon.

Great job Antony! ❤️

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the tragic passing of our beloved alumni and friend Harry K. 😢

Harry grew up in Pender Harbour, his father was a fisherman and mom was a waitress. He was one of six kids. Harry was a logger out of highschool and loved fishing whenever he could. He was also a very gifted artist, both with paints and wood work.

He came to us in June of last year and was a wonderful person to have with us. He utilized our wood shop to create works of art that he made out of wood burls. After completing the program, he made the wise choice of attending sober living to step slowly back into life.

Just weeks ago, Harry got out on the ocean and did some prawn fishing at one of his secret spots near Saltery Bay. Being the big hearted guy that he is, he shared his prawns with our counsellor Frani, who was his personal counsellor while in treatment.

Harry had just recently decided to move back to Pender Harbour where he grew up. He spoke of spending more time with his daughter and adopted son in the future and looked forward to getting a sail boat so he could spend time on the water.

Tragically, a few weeks ago, Harry was hit by a vehicle while biking in the lower Sunshine Coast and sustained severe injuries. Being the strong guy that he is, he fought bravely for 12 days, but the damage was so severe that he couldn't come back from it. Harry passed away yesterday with his daughter Cassidy by his side.

All of the Miklat staff send our love to his family who are grieving his loss. Rest in Peace Harry, we love you!! ❤️
