Guelph man upset after bylaw takes encampment tent

GuelphToday

The city should purchase the Niska land from the GRCA and set up a camp site there, complete with toilets and waste collection, and transition people from there directly into housing. Give out bus passes so people can get in and out of town for any appointments.

Eight-hectare parcel of Niska land declared surplus by GRCA

GuelphToday

The city should buy the eight hectare parcel and use the west side of it, adjacent to Pioneer Rd, it as a temporary managed site for camping for the unhoused. I note that there is already an established three season trailer park further up Pioneer Rd.

GRCA eyes declaring part of Niska lands as surplus

GuelphToday

Why will the city not purchase the land and protect it for future generations. And what is with th GRCA, acting all high handed in this matter. Their 'stewardship' hereabouts has amounted to sticking up 'No Trespassing' signage. Disgraceful all round.

Council directs staff to review, rather than expand, encampment bylaw

GuelphToday

Better to use the $260,000 to purchase the Niska lannd from the GRCA, then allow camping there, with waste collection and toilets. Invite Six Nations to put up sufficient communal teepees and make a daily potlatch supper, and manage the site.

Council to widen restrictions in controversial encampment bylaw

This way, the City will own the Niska lands that GRCA wants to sell, and they can be put to good use immediately. Win - win!

OPINION: Guelph's food scene doesn't push the envelope, nor does it pretend to

GuelphToday

Broken English Bistro serves authentic Eastern European food such as schnitze, sausage, potato dumplings, peirogies and cabbage rolls, and comes highly recommended. Outdoor dining in summer too on a lovely patio. Its well away from the chaos downtown.... 543 Speedvale Avenue East
