If they're doing that much damage to the new heated bus shelters just imagine how much damage is being done to all of the new supportive housing units including Atco ghetto.The only difference is Pattison is a private company and it's not going to waste its money on a lost cause.On the other hand, the government will because they're spending taxpayer dollars they never earned.

Committee members wary of discussing grant funding in front of Citizen reporter

Very Strange. What is the difference between members of the public attending a public meeting and a Citizen reporter, there to inform the public at large? In this age of "transparency", where is this fear coming from.

I wonder why the former CEO of The Exploration Place wants these meetings to be behind closed doors? This is very suspicious considering the state of finances The Exploration Place is in.

It's disturbing that people want to keep secrets when distributing taxpayer money. Even more reason for media to be present.

“ I find that it’s very chilling on the conversation and I’m very concerned…” Leftists get very uncomfortable with transparency and accountability.

It is important that any public office keep everything transparent and above board so having members of the public and media there keeps the process fair. This is especially true when discussing anything around money whether it be collecting, spending or increasing/decreasing fees and so on because we have the legal right to know how public officials are spending or collecting these monies. If you feel uncomfortable with having media there then it sends a message that you don’t want things known.

i am guessing street people using the heated shelters had something to do with them being removed as well but they will never say so...

Where to start? We were all told this place has been closed. But that means nothing I’m guessing. It’s closed to a tax-paying, law-abiding person maybe, but a drugged out dangerous offender? Set up a camp site! No problems! (Until kids get shot that is..) We’re repeatedly told these people are just a bunch of harmless victims. Now that kids are getting shot down there, maybe the government could be held responsible? When can we put the politicians in jail? I think that might have to be the first step, to get our communities back…

So can you just park trailers wherever you like? Are there not laws against squatting? Because your not allowed to build an off grid cabin in the woods on crown land, but you can park a 5th wheel trailer down town and no one can do anything about it? Just wondering why the trailer cannot simply be impounded, or scrapped depending on the condition. How come the gate is not working?What is moccasin flats? Is it privately owned? Is it crown land?

Another year of probation for shoplifter who was already on probation

A classic example of the Courts and Parliament keeping the honest, taxpaying and law-abiding public safe.It is well past due to repeal and amend the Charter of Rights, the Human Rights code , the Mental Health Act, bail and reform law, and also to ignore UNDRIP.It is now time to restore law, order, and authority to society in order to clean up the mess created by decades of liberal and libertarian nonsense.

This is the fault of no one but the courts. Shameful!

Ah yes, probation - the effective solution of choice in BC.

“…155 days, which is counted as 233 days under the 1.5-to-1 enhanced credit system.” %50 off sale on prison sentences! What a great, progressive idea!

Another year of probation for shoplifter who was already on probation

Does he get a reward when he hits 20 breaches of probation or 20 theft convinctions?

Does the 5th wheel have a license plate & valid insurance? Both are required as it is parked on public propertyIf not it should be towed & impounded until resulting fines are paid and proof of insurance provided. They had better hurry and get it moved before the Moccasin Flats firebug strikes yet again.
