Ryan Reynolds shows support for Winnipeg recovery centre
In a video, Ryan Reynolds mentioned the Bruce Oake Recovery Centre, saying the organization has been saving men's lives for years. He added that soon the Anne Oake Family Recovery Centre will be able to do the same thing for women.
'I'm really proud to know Scott Oake,' he said, referring to the sports broadcaster who started the recovery centre after his son died from an accidental drug overdose at the age of 25.
'I think he's an incredible example of Canadian grit and determination and moving through grief in a way that has a positive outcome for other people.'
Reynolds added that he's proud to support this cause and hopes others will join in and do the same.
In a post on X, Scott Oake said he can't thank Reynolds enough for his generous support.
'From one Canadian father to another…thank you. I'm touched,' he said.
The Anne Oake Family Recovery Centre is planned for a site on Snow Street at Dartmouth Drive, behind the Victoria General Hospital.

Health Canada issues recall for BChic, Chicure baby nest beds over safety risks
Social Sharing Health Canada issued a recall notice on Friday for BChic and Chicure model baby nest beds over various safety risks. The department said the "eleven" brand baby co-sleeping bed and luggage middle beds don't meet regulations and have the potential for "fall, strangulation and entrapment hazards," but it notes there have no been no reported incidents or injuries in Canada so far. "Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled products and safely dispose of the items in such a way that they cannot be used again," Health Canada said. "Health Canada reminds parents and caregivers that the safest place for a baby to sleep is on their back on a firm, flat surface intended for sleep."
