Source Summary

The location hasn't even been officially announced yet, but the idea of a new shelter for people experiencing homelessness in St. Catharines is already raising alarm bells among people living in the area who fear a host of negative impacts could be in store. In an unusual situation, a single social media post that pointed to a location for the new shelter just south of the Garden City Skyway bridge had some city politicians saying they were blindsided by Niagara's regional government.
