'Women need recovery just as much as men, that's a given,' Scott Oake said of a new women's addictions treatment facility anticipated for Winnipeg.
Scott Oake, famed Canadian sportscaster and father of Bruce Oake, made the announcement of a second addictions treatment facility to supporters at the annual Hockey Night in Canada at the MET gala Tuesday evening.
“We’ve always said that we don’t need one Bruce Oake Recovery Centre, we need 10 because addiction has such a long, cold hold of our city, our province, our country,” he told 680 CJOB’sThe new facility will be named the Anne Oake Family Recovery Centre, after Scott’s wife, Anne, who died in 2021 at the age of 65.
The Bruce Oake centre was named after Scott’s 25-year-old son, who died of an accidental overdose in 2011. The current facility, which opened its doors in 2021, is a 50-bed residential facility for men. Scott said the foundation wanted to build on the recovery centre’s success and offer the same opportunity to women.“Women are sometimes reluctant to go into recovery because they’re afraid they’re going to lose their kids, so a women’s facility has to have a significant daycare component. This place will.
Scott said when his son died, instead of resigning himself to his grief, he chose to give voice to it.
