Royal City Mission to cut hours in half amid cuts to expected funding

GuelphToday

Wow I think rcm should have more funding and not just have to be open 4 days a week as it provides people with a warm place to go and they have services like housing and nurses that come in to help the community members out and they also have showers and laundry for the community members to use and for the community members to store their stuff safely . Plus the provide two meals lunch and dinner for the community members as well. This is so sad

As city eyes daytime shelter, mayor doesn't want it downtown

GuelphToday

I think it should be just a bit out of downtown but not too far out of downtown that the services we have can still get to the other day time shelter. Plus if it's still in walking distance to downtown that will be good too because then the services at the health center can still help those people out.

County signs deal to accommodate homeless residents at Norfolk Manor

GuelphToday

I think what stepping stone should have done with norfolk manner is turned it into a family shelter instead. As right now they have one but it was the old guys shelter going towards fergus. Which is not a good location for it as the women and children have to walk down that highway to get to walmart to catch a bus downtown which is not safe at all. If they moved them to the norfolk manner it would be in walking distance to downtown and it's on bus routes as well. Stepping Stone doesn't think of this stuff.

‘I’m gonna miss it’: Downtown's DeBAR closing

GuelphToday

I use to go to the debar every Monday morning when I was going to kitchener to grad a cheese croissant. Then I would go in there to eat breakfast sometimes as well and talk to Rick he would ask me how my life is going and I would tell him. It was a very good environment and a great place to go. I will miss it for sure.
