60How about none of the above. This is absolute madness. The premise needs to be revisited. Whomever came up with the notion that human rights are served by enabling people to wallow in their misery should be removed from whatever position they currently occupy. Not sure if rockbutcher was being sarcastic however this approach has more currency than creating another six encampments. Encouraging people to develop a sense of worth, one of dignity and self respect is paramount. Shelter and a job, any job is a start. We can do better the psychobabble that currently masquerades as policy.

60Isn't the whole point of the new shelter village that we can then proceed to disperse the illegal encampments?

60At the bottom of the overpass at the marina is not very attractive for tourists and city folk alike. It always looks like a garbage dump there, sorry but that’s the truth

54But I get huge fines for my camper being in the middle of the bush on Crown land staying out of people’s way, cleaning up after myself. Oh, Canada.

City to consult with stakeholders on designated encampment sites
46No, no to encampments at all, especially in a park. It feels like we are getting taxed twice, one for a park we can’t use and once for people who get to live there for nothing. We pay for sewer and water, no free facilities, we pay for garbage pick up. If you have to put one anywhere make sure you build a nice fence so the visitors to our city don’t have to look at it. The City said the village would fix things. Apparently not. There’s a nice big building on the waterfront that could house many of them….some kind of art facility, well the encampments could be art right there. Depends how you look at it.

40Diavik is closing. Pre-built camp. Lots of fishing and hunting opportunities. Full kitchen facilities. Plumbing, you name it. Oh, and no dealers.

42Just expand the new park to include tents and free bus service. People just want to spoon feed this bunch.

12Many have mental health issues and we should lock them up? They turn to drugs to deal with their pain of mental and physical abuse. We should build treatment centres not 1800’s mental institutions!There are no mental institutions as the government got rid of them all to save money. The pharmaceutical companies created this epidemic of opioid addiction we should be going after them for money.

39“Sites were chosen by distance guidelines”, does that mean the distance to panhandling locations?

36We don’t need more than two camping sites. Plus the village is more than enough.. Start using the beds used during the winter months. They should remain open in the summer months as well. Administration not once mentioned to council there would be more camps after the village was built. They even went as far as stating RV sites. Administration is adding to this 10 part plan and council is getting blamed for this. The 10 part plan was for getting the village up and running. With the 5 million dollar village the can make people move along. Stop this madness.
