Council backtracks on support for homeless shelter move
A city council resolution passed at its Sept. 26 meeting to find a “suitable location” for a Ksan Society homeless shelter crafted in the face of considerable opposition from neighbours of where Ksan wants to place the shelter, was missing one important piece of information — council has already provided the society with a letter of support for the plan.
There was no discussion at that August meeting of the impact Turning Points might have on the surrounding properties but Councillor James Cordeiro did ask what plans Ksan had for security and if those provisions would be similar to the situation at the shelter’s current Lakelse Ave. location where private security employees are now routinely stationed.
“that administration facilitate a multi-agency discussion to determine a suitable location within the City of Terrace to provide the necessary services people need with minimal impacts on surrounding neighbourhoods, and to determine if new zoning for such a location would be appropriate.”“This is not stopping the shelter from moving forward,” he said. “It’s zoned appropriately. We have no authority to do that.
