The Rainy River District Substance Abuse Prevention Team has been given the go ahead to continue programming for at least another year.

Coordinator Hugh Dennis says an e-mail from a Ministry of Health Promotion staffer Friday confirmed that funding for the program had been made available in the province's recent budget. However, exactly how much money provided is not clear.

Current annual funding of about 100-thousand dollars was to run out tomorrow.
