50This sounds like Guelph. Stop helping the homeless and we need more bike lanes.

37As I have stated before the government instead of finding ways to be more helpful decided to be draconian in their response.

Council approves ‘amazing’ 24-storey building set for downtown
24Another reason for me to never go near downtown Guelph. A place a spent a lot of my childhood and miss, but it's a hole now!!!! Not far off walking downtown Toronto, never know if you're gonna get mugged, get blind sided, etc...... And now let's build an eyesore with over 400 units and less than 100 spots.... Wow, great job council....... Just amazes me how blind city council is. Thankfully i live nowhere close to the streets that "tenants" will be parking on every day and night, plus "visitors" to those units... Just a joke Guelph, do better, we pay enough to have some actual minds on council don't we?????

39Brilliant... it might be a food safety issue eating out of a garbage can as well... absolute lunacy. Turn the other way and accept the far less evil of homemade food. Oh the horrors, feeding homeless people homemade food.

27Those bicycle lights are as funny as the curbs on Silver Creek. Excess Money Getting tossed around like confetti except we the taxpayers don't have excess money

38Doesn't public health have more important things to worry about. People have been feeding the homeless for ever and nothing has been said. During the depression, itinerant workers would do chores for food...from people's kitchens. Geez!

25Just the usual fact-free, pointlessly reactive rant. But as you bellowed, you don't go there anymore and plainly have no stake in the City's future. Relax!

35Nobody complains when people sell cookies at church bake sales but public health has to follow the rules.

21Again with this tired argument... Our downtown is lovely and walkable for those who actually visit and care. As for parking, as of right now, the real time parking spot tracker that’s on the city website shows over 900 parking spots available downtown. There’s honestly an obscene amount of parking available almost all the time and the number one thing people complain about is parking. It’ll be just fine. Maybe leave the car at home and go touch grass… sounds like it might do you some good.

25This is ridiculous 😒 Once again the rich complaining so those of low income can continue going hungry. Pathetic.

21@ramos96 - since you're running for mayor in the upcoming election, what's the alt?... They didn't shut the entire thing down... PH is just following the rules... if someone got sick after PH knowingly allowed non-compliant food, they become exposed... If 10 people ended up in the hospital if PH tuned a blind eye, what would your PR statement be if you were mayor? I think any reasonable person would struggle with the balance of the level of risk we are willing to tolerate in exchange for helping people who otherwise might not get fed... but calling PH's response "draconian" seems to ignore the reality that PH is operating in a framework designed to protect vulnerable people as well....

29A thought ... mention was made of some school kids having made sandwiches ... perhaps that could be done as an ongoing project by the schools around Guelph? Yes, it leaves a gap when kids are gone for the summer ... but .... where there's a will, there's a way ... and not all kids leave town and are looking for something to do! An alternate plan could surely be put together.Food Safety is a concern, I understand ... and it should be for each and every one of us in our personal lives too.Keeping that in mind, but focusing it to The Bench ... while Public Health is requiring the food to be made in certified kitchens ... what is PH doing to ensure that once the food leaves the certified kitchens that it is properly handled and stored? How long is it sitting around without refrigeration? or heat? ... or sitting out in the open in this heat? THAT might be a bigger concern and risk for all concerned than the uncertified home kitchen and food handler!!!

26Food safety isnt a concern when your starving. Whats next? I get fined for sharing my stew with my roommate who gets sick?
