Previously dismissed, Kam River now recommended for shelter village site
TBNewsWatch
75We do not want a homeless village.Building the homeless village will not stop many of the “homeless” from setting up their tents.Enabling them by providing a home, furniture , heating, air conditioning, meals….with no incentive to improve their situation is not going to fix the problem Providing a room, bed with communal kitchen and counselling in one of the existing building in our city will accommodate the people who are willing to try and change.

LETTER: City homeless services expansion and the welfare magnet effect
TBNewsWatch 55Well said.I would add that the homeless could step up and help themselves too and not expect handouts. Yes some need specialized help but they need to want to improve their life style. Some of them appear to embrace this lifestyle

Harmful stereotypes: Indigenous youth discuss the criminal justice system
TBNewsWatch 41Educating the youth on their legal rights if arrested, if they were not doing something illegal, they would not get arrested. Maybe discussions on respecting laws.Encourage Indigenous youth to get part time jobs, like the foreign students who are here to better themselves and are teaching us their culture too. Their opportunities are only limited by their choices
