why is Ms.Gauvin always dismissive about initiatives taking place in the community and of other organizations? There are other organization working with people in the encampments but from all the media rhetoric you would think Elevate is the only show in town that is doing anything. What is really going on here, what is the end game?
I am not a Liberal but how about one of you critics run. Think you could do a better job, go for it. Nothing like an armchair quarterback. Everyone thinks they can be a better leader until they are in the other shoes then reality hits.
Well said. It is usually the unhappy people putting their comments on here. No, it does not represent the general public, only reflective of the disgruntled, who don’t seem happy with anything. Sad existence.
I am so sorry that this happened to you and your friends. We do not all share these racist and ignorant perspectives. I love seeing diversity in the city and have a deep respect for people who are trying to build a life for themselves. You are right we are all humans but some of us are more evolved than others.
There are people who need support and waitlist for support are long; however, there are also people who have a blatant disregard for property and rules. Despite support offered, they refuse to accept it. Why are we so adverse to holding people accountable for their behaviours? Why are we always blaming the landlords who are having to pay thousands of dollars in damages once they evict?
I hope the folks who criticize DSSAB, and other housing providers, on a regular basis take heed of this article. Despite efforts to make buildings safer, evicting problematic tenants is not easy, even if they are a threat to others. Landlords have no rights, including social housing providers.
Some non-profits have been working tirelessly to get housing projects up and going. Too bad the city is not working with them to find permanent solutions with a lesser price tag.
You mean to say that white, straight, Christians are not trying to get everyone else to live their lives as they do. You mean a black lesbian can live her life as she wishes? Could I move to your planet?
Since Elevate is the only show in town doing something for people, I guess you would have to extend your hours. I say this sarcastically. PACE and Grace Place also have warming centres. Your not an island Holly.
I can’t say that I am happy about this news. Many walkers and hikers have been chased out of the park as it has gotten too dangerous. I personally have been harassed by bicyclist stating to get off the trails (after walking there for 30 years) and this was during non-racing evenings. I try to be respectful and avoid the area when there are races. Mind you it is not as nice to walk there anymore. The wildlife is essentially non-existent and I was getting tired of seeing the damage caused to fauna and flora by the bicycles and construction. A real shame. I wonder what the future holds for centennial park. I am glad they need to stay away from the cascades, at this time anyway.
These people need to smarten up. If you want to destroy your lives then do it another way. Don’t bring the rest of us with you. This goes for people who speed, stunt drive, and forgo other traffic laws as well. Someone’s loved ones are waiting for them to get home safely. Our laws are too liberal, do it once lose your driving privileges for life. Driving is not a right.
This irks me to no end. There are many great PSWs out there and you manage to taint the profession. Shame on you!!! I just want to say thank you ti all the PSWs out there who give their all and truly care about the elderly.
