Reversing course on latest shelter village site now 'will likely kill the project,' councillor says
TBNewsWatch
81I believe addional accommodation can be found without building a homeless village. I also don't think the city should make Thunder Bay a destination for the out of town homeless. Obviosy the city has a big drug problem and treatment is crucial for those seeking help. The money the city will save by not building and operating a homeless village can be put to better use.

We ‘cannot compel people to move,’ says city staff
TBNewsWatch 71Is administration not listening? The Miles Strert location for a homelless village will due more harm to struggling businesses and many residents who live and pay taxes in thec south core. This is why this location was rejected by council and by the entire downtown business community. If administration wants a homeless village they must find a location that won't harm the business community and cause more businesses to close.

Shelter village will create a 'ghetto' in south core: Powlowski
TBNewsWatch 49Mr Powlowski is correct. The Miles Street location is absolutely the last thing the downdown core needs. Forget about revitilization. The location was and still is terrible. Who would want to move their business anywhere near this site or even open up a new business there?

Back to the drawing board? Council to vote on scraping shelter village site
TBNewsWatch 59Support existing faciities . Some agencies with financial support may be able to retrofit existing buildings and accommodate more residents. Look for alternate solutions. Concentrate on treatment. Homeless villages will likely cause more problems than they will ever solve.

Shelter village site finally confirmed — and it's not Miles Street
TBNewsWatch 28Revitalization of the south core now has a good chance of succeeding. It's hard to believe administration recommended the Miles Street location not once but twice. Thanks to the council members who voted for a new location that would not negatively impact the business community.

TBNewsWatch 56Shelby Ch' ng stated that the redevelopment of this former industristrial site will pay dividends to the city. It simply is a waste of taxpayers money and something we can't afford or need. The only dividend taxpayers will get is when their next tax bill arrives in the mail showing yet another big tax increase.

Miles Street site resurrected as location for temporary shelter village
TBNewsWatch 52After all the businesses and homeowners in the area campained against this location. Buliding this right across the street from a bar and store that sells canabis and within a few blocks of 3 other bars is just one of the many reasons the downtown community rejected this site and said no and council agreed.

City is 'rushing through' shelter village process, says councilor
TBNewsWatch 47This city is getting rid of one mistake by a previous council, namely Victoriaville mall. Why when the business community and nearby residents say NO to the Miles Street location is administration saying YES. The business communiiyy is being treated like second class citizens despite the fact they pay high taxes and contribute greatly to the city's tax base.

TBNewsWatch 41We the taxpayers don't need or want this. Many of us are having a hard enough time making ends meet now. No one I have talked to supports this. Just like the library that was going to raise millions and rent space at Intercity Shopping Centre and went nowhere.
