Big congratulations to Brandon H. on his graduation from the Miklat Recovery Program 👏❤️🎂

Brandon was a model client from day one—committed, focused, and willing to do the real work. He showed a strong determination to work the steps and face the parts of himself that needed healing. That kind of honesty and courage is what recovery is all about.

What really stood out about Brandon was his compassion for others. He went out of his way to support another client by reading the steps with him so he could continue his own journey. That’s leadership. That’s brotherhood.

Around the house, Brandon brought a steady, positive presence. Whether it was stepping up as a driver between McGuffie, Arbutus, and meetings, or just keeping things light with his quiet sense of humor—he made an impact. Friendly, compassionate, and grounded, with a sensitivity that shows real depth of character.

Brandon understood what he needed to do to succeed here—and he did it. We’re proud of the man he’s becoming and hopeful that he continues to show up for himself, one day at a time.

We look forward to seeing you around McGuffie, Brandon. You’ll always be part of this community.

Today we celebrate Jacob J. graduating from the Miklat Recovery Program — and what a journey it’s been.

If you’ve ever met Jacob, you probably noticed the tattoos on his face before anything else… but it didn’t take long to notice the big heart, the sense of humour, and the way he could make the whole house laugh.

Jacob showed up every day ready to do the work. Whether it was groups, chores, conversations, or just being part of the community, he gave it his best shot. And one thing that really stood out about him was how well he took advice — he listened, reflected, and kept moving forward. That kind of humility and willingness to learn goes a long way in recovery.

He worked hard, laughed hard, and proved that when someone is willing to put in the effort, real change is possible. We’re proud of you, Jacob. The next chapter is yours to write — and we’re all cheering you on.

Congratulations, brother. Keep going. 👏

We are incredibly honoured (and honestly still a little surprised!) to share that Miklat Recovery Program has once again received the Powell River Business Award for Non-Profit Excellence — 2026.

This recognition means so much because it comes from our own community — a community that believes in recovery, second chances, and the power of people helping people.

A heartfelt thank you to the Powell River Chamber of Commerce for this acknowledgement, and to the people of qathet who continue to stand beside us, support our work, and cheer on the men and families walking the path of recovery.

But the real credit belongs to our extraordinary staff and counsellors. Day after day, they show up with compassion, patience, humour, and unwavering dedication. The work isn’t easy — it asks a lot of the people who do it — but watching lives change, families reconnect, and hope return makes every long day worth it.

The evening itself was full of proud moments. We were thrilled to see Steve Macleod recognized for the incredible work at Convenient Chef, and it was pretty special seeing Zach, Gus, Brandon and Howard absolutely running the kitchen and serving an amazing meal. And congratulations to A&W as well — made even sweeter knowing one of our grads is part of that team. Recovery showing up everywhere in our community… we love to see it.

Awards are wonderful, but the real reward is witnessing someone believe in themselves again — sometimes for the very first time in years.

Thank you, Powell River, for believing in recovery as much as we do. We’re grateful, humbled, and more motivated than ever to keep doing the work.

Healthy nutritious food is a very important part of recovery. What you consume relates closely to how you feel. We love our chefs who put their hearts into the food we serve and it shows. Thank you to Zach, Benny, and Gus for all the effort. Everyone appreciates you guys so much.

We are delighted to celebrate Steve M, a skilled chef and esteemed alumnus, on his outstanding achievement of five years of sobriety. As one of our first graduates, Steve has garnered widespread acclaim as a talented chef, making him an exemplary candidate for prestigious honours, such as Michelin stars, should the guide arrive in town. 🤔🌟

We are delighted to share that we have been nominated for the Chamber of Commerce Business Awards for the third consecutive year. This nomination serves as a testament to the dedication and perseverance of our team. Our staff's commitment to delivering outstanding care and support to our clients is unwavering, driven by a genuine passion for addiction recovery. Although recognition is not our motivator, it is heartening to know that our community recognizes the value of our work. We extend our sincerest gratitude.

Congratulations to our very well loved alumni Stefan on his two years of sobriety today. We asked him for a few words and he said this. "Thank you Miklat. Im the father, son, and friend i was always meant to be."

We love to hear when families are healing and kids have their dads back. ❤️

Huge thanks to Kelly Keil and The Peak Newspaper for donating three perfect desks, a love seat, some chairs, and standing desks for Miklat. It's divine timing because we just finished some office spaces and needed new desks. Cancelling our Ikea order, which will save a bunch and help keep funding going to the client programming! Thank you also to Mike Kaban of Remax for bringing a moving truck and helping us get everything over to Mcguffie and Arbutus.
