Shelter plan earns approval (SALMON ARM) Jan 11
Terri Jones, executive assistant to Okanagan-Shuswap MP Colin Mayes, cautioned against the armoury location, saying from her experience in Vernon, crime will increase. Her presentation sparked an angry response from citizen Bill Laird, who said he was disgusted the MP’s representative would come and question the location. He challenged Mayes to “step up to the plate and give us a hand with this problem,” instead of watching all the downloading.
City picks up the pace Jan 10
While praise is handed out, it should be mentioned that MP Colin Mayes’ assistant Terri Jones has been an active part of the process and is trying to determine potential sources of money for a permanent shelter. This is just another example that poverty and homelessness know no party lines. How a person votes doesn’t matter when they are cold and hungry.
