The sudden arrival of the cold wasn香蕉视频直播檛 enough to deter petitioners on Tuesday.

Petition organizers gathered signatures at A Plus Automotive in Rutland in an effort to change the lenient rules towards drug and alcohol use at the 香蕉视频直播榳et香蕉视频直播� McCurdy Road Supportive Housing project scheduled to be completed next spring.

The petition moved past 15,000 names and the Rutland community insists that they must be heard.

In July, after intense public pressure, the province changed the rules for the McCurdy project prohibiting the use of illegal drugs on site. Alcohol and certain drugs will still be permitted.

The biggest concern for the community is that the McCurdy project is too close to Rutland schools. With alcohol being allowed on the site, parents in the neighbourhood are concerned more issues will arise in their neighbourhood.

Petitioners hope that gathering signatures locally will have a larger impact.

香蕉视频直播淔ixing one problem in one place is not going to help the rest of the city. We want to be the ripple in the pond,香蕉视频直播� Gustafson said.

Gustafson said that Tuesday香蕉视频直播檚 drive-thru will likely be one of the last before the petition is brought to the B.C. government and BC Housing.
