It’s not going to beautify downtown if all the people living at the Haida Inn have no where to go. They will be living and sleeping on the streets, without facilities for basic human needs. Please, to the powers that be, delay the destruction of the building until ALL the people living there have found new affordable places to call their home.
My son interviewed Shawn Decaire of Kwesa Place for a school project and we were so impressed with his mission and deep sense of care and compassion that he holds for his fellow community members. Elevating human dignity, connection and community. It was an honor to meet him and to see commitment to create change and impact in action.
When kweaa first opened I felt so welcomed and appreciated. And I couldn't believe you could get a change of clothes and shower when needed
Especially when you needed to use the washer and dryer,, it was always available.....we all felt like our own little big family. I love that , now everyone knows everyone and and is always happy and healthy. And always having good laugh, even though I'm not homeless kwesa always felt like a second home. You always knew you were safe and always fed!!!!!! Shawn Declair is a big inspiration to all of us and we all look up to him and the other employees ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The Mayor is using the excuse that he needs to revitalize downtown, when in truth, he is trying to eradicate any homeless people living downtown or being helped there. He is allowing 5 story apartment blocks all over town but not for the homeless. Instead of insisting that these buildings will be affordable, he is allowing developers to charge whatever they want. Our Mayor does not care about the homeless, he just wants them to disappear. He just spent 64 million dollars on the swimming pool. I bet the homeless will not be allowed to ever use it, nor is any of that money going to benefit them. We need a new Mayor. Someone who cares for all the citizens of Campbell River.
