City urges Vickers Manor residents to find other accommodations
70
What a strange situation, people who have been paying rent are being evicted from their residence and the people who weren’t paying rent are having a village built for them.

So you bought a place directly across the street from the largest commercially zoned section of vacant land in Thunder Bay and when that area gets developed, that's a problem?

How this got to the state is completely unacceptable and this should actually be criminal charges for this for neglect as well as endangerment.

Slumlords.

Its not like its the first store ever built near a residential area. 90% of the shpping malls have been built in residential areas. Some people just like to complain.

Where are these seniors who require assistance to live supposed to go? The owner should be charged with negligence, jailed and fined.

We just can't have nice things! Unprintable what my first thoughts were.

Yet another example of privatization failing us every chance it gets. The company that owns this facility should be charged with willful neglect for allowing this facility to get to this stage while still collecting rent.

Maybe the TBDSSAB can't put these people, who are so obviously in need, into hotel rooms for the short term, and assist in finding new places to live.If we pay to put the homeless in hotels in winter, I feel the same should be offered in this situation.

We have people from all over northern Ontario(not seniors) that we provide free room and board all summer,we ask them to move and they don’t ask them to clean up their mess and we do it. Now you’re not going to help these seniors and tell them to get out and find another place in a city that has nothing available. You own the property for back taxes. Pay the heat and lights and figure it out later please.

Where speed limits are 50 this city does 65. Where speed limits are 40 this city does 50. Where speed limits are 90 this city does 110. I get passed on the expressway while doing 106 everyday lol of we post the speed limit at 110 all of sudden everyone freaks out that the slow lane is only doing 110 and they start doing 125 or more. The highways they're increasing the speed on are much larger and better maintained than ours. We are not suited for a higher speed both in infrastructure and mentality.

Wow. A months notice and the city can't help out 60 seniors. Wonder how this would over with other segments of society ???

The village would be perfect for these tenants who are in greater need and would probably be more welcomed in the neighborhood.

It's not just a matter of finding another place for the residents to live. This is an assisted living facility. They need help getting through normal daily tasks. I don't know why such facilities are not under some kind of government control so that things like this can't happen.

Its the city looking for more housing, why not purchase this?

What about the shelter village?

The city doesn’t control gas or hydro. What do you expect them to do?
12
City now under a fire ban
29
Will the fire ban be enforced in the homeless encampments to support public safety and equity under the law, or will the homeless be allowed to continue to flout public safety and equity under the law because they are homeless?
