'People are dying': First Nations urge city to declare homelessness emergency
119It is upsetting that people are dying when they don’t need to be. The government funds the reserves to take care of their people, except some of the people end up on the streets in Thunder Bay without the reserve funding. Where does this funding go? Perhaps the funding needs to go directly to the people instead of to the band. The money obviously isn’t making it to the people that need it the most. Maybe the bands should be setting up shelters for their people in Thunder Bay if they don’t want to give it to them directly. There’s a good starting place for Mr. Fiddler to explore.

69There is room in the shelters in the city and the Salvation Army building, but there are rules in shelters. And you’ll notice if you look there is no one sleeping in the tents these days…..so they have gone somewhere. And show me in the news where someone has died recently at one of the tent sites. There are zero deaths related to the tent sites.

4Will the extended stay benefit local low-income families or out-of town workers feeding the 'beautification " of Thunder Bay?

16When you take a plane in January or February you cannot be shocked if there are problems given the weather. Are you new to Canada??

9I think our council is money hungry .They are not thinking at all .They are destroying Thunder Bay.We will now have another outlet for selling drugs , in the core of port Arthur and right near the casino .Another low income building in this area is not ideal , let’s just keep destroying Thunder Bay and say your trying to attract people but don’t build anything that actually attracts people !Other than attracting drug addicts etc

3Nobody would survive sleeping in a tent in -45C weather. People aren't allowed to build shacks with a woodstove to survive. Nobody wants to stay in a homeless shelter either but that's the last resort.How about rent and housing becomes affordable again?Ontario welfare is $733/month... lol. How is that even considered welfare.Nobody cares if they aren't homeless themselves.God is going to wipe this place soon... There are so many evil people now.

28I also read the article top to bottom....and it's still unclear if it's only available to First Nation people or the general public. It says that there are two First Nation communities that will be tennants, but it doesn't say that the units will be available to everyone.So just like Cheesedog said, before everyone jumped in with their rude comments, "Just curious"....who will be allowed to be a tennant? Serious responses need only to reply.
