We the undersigned are against the proposed BC Housing residence proposal for 3177 McGill Ave. While the intent of the project to "serve people with overlapping mental-health and addiction issues or other complex health challenges" is indeed warranted for this city, building it in the middle of a neighbourhood with many small children and next to a park, is clearly not a good choice. The huge potential for increased crime and human conflict is also too great and therefore must not happen.

We strongly urge BC Housing, Northern Health and Community Living BC to construct this home closer to existing support services and away from existing neighbourhoods and children who might otherwise frequent this area.

Please take this matter seriously before it gets started and has a strong negative impact on the College Heights community.
