GuelphToday received the following Letter to the Editor from Sue Woodward, who expresses concerns with homelessness in the community:
I was moved by Liz Hales's letter today: yet another plea for immediate action on the problem of homelessness in our city. I was one of the people misled by the Community Cold Weather Response into thinking that there were sufficient shelter beds, especially in extreme cold weather.
I refer to this article below about the former drill hall building. Here is an empty building which the city owns, right downtown. Has no-one thought of making it into a temporary shelter? It has been pointed out that other cities have come up with creative solutions: why not Guelph?
Sincerely,
Sue Woodward
