City urges Vickers Manor residents to find other accommodations

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.

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

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

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.

And stop flicking cigarette butts out your vehicle windows people.

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?

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.

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

Billions for obsolete subs and fighter jets, but nothing for fighting fires. The guvmint has priorities and they don't include this country nor its citizens.

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.
