30 Years of Impact
For three decades, Portage Atlantic has helped young people rebuild their lives and reconnect with their families and communities.
We perform miracles at Cassidy Lake. We take young people who are challenged by their addiction and at the end of their treatment they are better prepared to face their lives’ journey.
- Roderick Nolan, First Chairman of Portage Atlantic, from 1996 to 2004
