The Kingston Pregnancy Care Centre is opening an office in Napanee in January.

The centre’s Napanee office will be located in the downstairs of the Downtown Napanee Business Hub at 6 Dundas St. E., and will be open Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The centre offers support and information to people facing unplanned or stressful pregnancies, including information about pregnancy, abortion and adoption, as well as peer counselling and support groups and resources for sexual health.

A news release from the agency says KPCC has been serving the Kingston, Frontenac and Lennox and Addington area for 30 years, and that, according to the 2016 Stats Canada Census, more than 3,000 young people between the ages of 10 and 29 live in Greater Napanee.

“It can be hard for young people to access services in Kingston if they can’t drive or they are too afraid to tell their parents,” Elizabeth Sacrey, executive director, said in the release. “We saw a need to be in Napanee to help those who experience barriers to services because of transportation or family issues. After our strategic planning meeting in June with our board and staff, we decided it was time to make this need a priority and expand services to Napanee.”

According to its website, KPCC is “a faith-based organization,” not a medical clinic, and does not refer or perform abortions.

The centre will be open as of Wednesday, Jan. 8.
