Victoria might fund creation of a community working group in the North Park neighbourhood to address concerns about potential street disorder after a shipping-container community reopened next to Royal Athletic Park.
In response to concerns about the site reopening, Coun. Krista Loughton brought forward a motion to Victoria councillors to provide $50,000 to Our Place to establish a community working group made up of Caledonia Place residents, Our Place staff, North Park Neighbourhood Association members and interested neighbours, as well as an advisory committee for Caledonia Place residents.
“I don’t understand why the city is even thinking of trying to give direction to Our Place. We should be butting out, not in,” she said. She proposed several ideas in her motion, including a block-watch program that could be run by Caledonia Place residents, a day-labour program for residents and a peer-to-peer outreach program.
