Kingston Ont. mayor says province needs to help fight homelessness - Kingston | Globalnews.ca

Earlier this year councillors also decided to spend up to $149,000 for services at the encampment, including toilets, dumpsters and security.

But when it comes to filling the gap in the fight against homelessness, he calls these Band-Aid solutions. “We need provincial funding, federal government funding in order to make that work and so that’s going to be a continued call and an advocacy push from me.” “The municipality, the City of Kingston, and the province of Ontario have a partnership, the province needs to step up and they need to provide the funding so that the city can be successful in creating those accessible spaces,” city councillor Greg Ridge said.

The ruling in Kitchener is one that could have a trickle-down effect on municipalities facing similar issues, but at this point, only time will tell.The mayor says next week he will appear in front of the provincial finance committee ahead of the provincial budget announcement in order to continue pushing for help in Kingston.

The federal government is basically promoting drug use by discussing decriminalizing hard drugs.... So they are the ones making these places worse

Just trying to imagine what that person's home would look like if they had one.

Question: Who are they fighting?

Take the carbon tax and build homes

Send the judges to live with them, those judges who issued the decision to prohibit their removal from public parks. And also sent Trudeau there who says he helps those most in need but spends millions on hotels Ontario Onpoli Canada Cdnpoli

Get a job and stop doing drugs you deadbeats

The solution for that install a mobile units in every park in the twon for them..!!

Home and rental prices are insane in Kingston. Build some more houses and apartments that aren't for the millions of dollars crew

That’s a cool crib tho!

Homelessness is a crime against humanity. Too bad are authorities protect the corrupt ruling. But people are ok with all of this.

Kingston needs to make sure they have enough beds/shelter available for homeless people.
