Ksan moving ahead with plan to move homeless shelter
The Ksan Society is proceeding with renovations on the recently-purchased old Elks Hall so it can become the new home for its Turning Points homeless shelter now located on Lakelse Ave. in the downtown core.
“Unfortunately we’ve invested our own funds into this location and it wouldn’t be feasible to put our project on hold at this point,” said Owens. Owens’ comments follow the presentation to council at its Sept. 26 meeting of a 372-name petition, and additional letters, opposing the move. “Our priorities are the courtyard and privacy fencing, washrooms, showers and laundry,” she said. “We have placed supply orders and should be starting shortly.”
