Hmm. It's possible some other non-Narconon rehab moved in. I dunno... *sniff*sniff*
... "Sleezebag drug rehabs that probably aren't Narconon" category.
IMO, the good rehabs need to start participating in cleaning up their field, before the bad reputations of some tarnish them all.
According to the Town’s Planning Director, Barbara Koopmans, the application for a minor variance was denied because it doesn’t conform with the ‘group home type 2’ definition under which the company applied.“This group home has a number of criteria, deals with a specific amount of residents, licensing issues, supervision and so on. In our opinion as planning staff, the facility does not closely fit with the definition,” she said.One of the conditions to be classified as a ‘group home type 2’ is for it to be located on a major arterial road. Since Milburough Line is a rural area, it lacks access to services that would be essential for this type of facility, she explained.
Milton Canadian ChampionBy Rachael WilliamsFeb. 2, 2015An application by a Scientology-based company to establish a drug and rehab facility in Milton is headed for a four-day hearing at the end of March to determine if the property owners can set up shop.A Church of Scientology entity called Social Betterment Properties International has appealed a decision made by the Town’s Committee of Adjustment and Consent to use a property located at 7651 Milburough Line as a drug and rehabilitation facility. Called Narconon, meaning ‘no drugs’, the company treats addictions using nutritional and nutritional supplements, according to company representative Rubina Qureshi.

Since Milburough Line is a rural area, it lacks access to services that would be essential for this type of facility, she explained.“We would direct these types of uses to urban areas with full municipal services, better access to streets and more access to hospitals and ambulances,” said Koopmans. “They (Social Betterment Properties International) didn’t consult with staff before they acquired the property and, therefore, they wouldn’t have known what the permitted uses were for that area,” she said.

Aside from zoning issues, the company has made headlines in previous years for its “unconventional” approaches to treatment. In 2012, the Narconon Quebec location was shuttered after at least four clients were taken to hospital. According to a 2012 CBC media report, the company used lengthy sauna detox sessions and an excessive amount of vitamins to treat patients, as inspired by the teachings of Scientology.This went against legal criteria for regulating Quebec’s rehab centres, as there was no medical supervision or scientific basis to the treatment, according to the CBC report. Qureshi said that the centre was shut down because of a change in the medical model of treating drug addiction in Quebec, which favoured drug replacement therapy instead of natural remedies.
GROUP HOME TYPE 2Means a detached dwelling occupied by residents who live as a single housekeeping unit requiring specialized or group care, supervised on a daily basis, and which is licensed, approved or supervised, or funded by the Province of Ontario under any general or specialized Act and which shall be maintained and operated primarily for:• Persons who require temporary care and transient or homeless persons; or• Persons requiring treatment and rehabilitation for addiction to drugs or alcohol.

While waiting for the OMB, I was filling in some blanks like corporate info.Category:Narconon Ontario (I'll probably rename that to Narconon Canada.)When having a look at Narconon Incorporated (Canada), which as a charity has to file information with Canada Revenue Agency, I notice that there's barely any activity listed for 2013--a few thousand to keep it ticking and keep their charity status.There's no mention of anything related to the failed 2013 attempt to open a Narconon in Hockley Valley. It's obvious that it's just a shell.In the Milton attempt, the only players mentioned are SBPI and ABLE. Nothing on who their local Narconon entity is. Either it's all by SBPI (who doesn't file Form 990s) or they have a new entity that we don't know about yet.Sidenote: In one story, there was a Tim Lomas, spokesman of ABLE.Narconon rehab strikes out in second Ontario town February 9, 2015, Jacques Gallant, Toronto StarReally. And when did he stop being an OSA dirty-tricks operator?https://www.google.ca/?q=Tim Lomas scientology

The website claims the organization is “fully accredited” and has been recognized with a World Accreditation Addiction Treatment Mark of Excellence (WAATME) seal.WAATME described itself last fall as a new accrediting organization and a subsidiary of Old West Healthcare Partners in Wyoming. Its website states addiction treatment providers can receive its “distinguished” seal of approval in “THREE EASY STEPS:” declare they are not funded or influenced by pharmaceutical companies, complete a 1.5-hour online course, and pay a fee.
