Council welcomes homeless shelter move to Southside
City of Terrace council members are satisfied the Ksan Society’s homeless shelter has moved out of the downtown core but are now worried about the effects it may have around its new location on Tetrault St. on the Southside.
“But I am worried about the transition of the problem to a less resilient neighbourhood than the downtown,” he added. Mayor Sean Bujtas, whose commute to work takes him through the downtown core, described the effect of the move as having turned off a light switch in comparing the amount of street activity before the move and after the move.
The city’s social development coordinator, Linda Stevens, told council Ksan has been in contact with neighours surrounding its new Joe’s Place shelter location. Social media commentary has not welcomed the shelter move from downtown to the southside with many people expressing concerns about safety. The Ksan Society bought the Elks Hall on Tetrault St. across from the Mills Memorial Hospital property last year, then secured a series of government and other grants to renovate the facility for its new shelter location. Ksan asked for and was granted a letter of support from the city in its pursuit of grants.
