Feb. 21, 2025 – Ryan Kirby and the former camp’s co-owner, Mark Lane, aren’t focused on turning a profit from the vast waterfront property.
Instead, they’re pouring their own savings — about $1.1 million so far — into building a brand-new addiction treatment centre.
“Because of the experiences we had in our own families, we [thought] we could come together and create a place for people to come and achieve that sobriety that so many people need so badly,” said Lane.
Kirby has personal reasons for his investment: he’s been to rehab a few times, but the programs never worked. It wasn’t until he started running the East Coast Trail with a group of friends that he discovered the benefits of structure, exercise and nature.
“It’s something that’s very near and dear to my heart,” he said, speaking over the din of hammers and drills.
“When this property became an option to purchase a few years ago, I immediately said … I think that this is what we should do here.”
