There is going to be someone here from GLRC thats actually going to be giving tours to show the community what we are doing here.

Its nothing but open arms. Its doesnt matter what your view is or walk of life, all we ask for is respect for your fellow person, expressed Sault Tribe Recovery Coach, Joseph Gravelle.
