The frustration was evident at West Kelowna council Tuesday (July 9) over what it sees as a lack of provincial assistance in dealing with the city香蕉视频直播檚 homeless.

Several councillors criticized the province following discussion that the pilot Westside Resource Hygiene Centre, planned for Churchill Road, would not be moving forward.

She added the province needs to step up, asking 香蕉视频直播淲here is the counselling and healthcare?香蕉视频直播�

The hygiene centre would have provided showers, washrooms, hot meals and other support to those experiencing homelessness. Mayor Gord Milsom said the centre was a band-aid solution, adding the province needs to take a stronger role in providing assistance.

The mayor did praised the community organizations that stepped forward to help with the hygiene centre.

Coun. Garrett Millsap noted the city received hundreds of responses from residents about the centre's proposed location.

That was also a concern during council香蕉视频直播檚 June 11 meeting, where it heard that some unhoused individuals were migrating from Kelowna.
