Bill Moore, executive director of the city’s community safety department, says there are more than 85 people at the four green spaces the municipality has currently designated to be used as homeless encampments. Moore says the nine new sites will act as a “pressure release” as the current designated areas have reached capacity. The nine new locations include seven on the Halifax peninsula, including Bayers Road Windsor Street Park, BiHi Park, Chain Lake Park, Cogswell Park, Glebe Street Park, Halifax Common berm, and Point Pleasant Park. Across the harbour in Dartmouth, Bissett Road Park and the Geary Street green space were selected as designated sites. All locations were chosen for their proximity to public transit and other services, and for their distance from schools, parks, gardens, or culturally sensitive areas. In February, Halifax asked unhoused people to leave Victoria Park and four other previously authorized encampments _ including in front of city hall. The list that tracks people experiencing homelessness in Halifax has grown to 1,316 people. 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail admin previous post Provincial government looks for input on policing in Nova Scotia next post Police search for missing man last seen in Halifax You may also like التدخل الأجنبي: قائد الشرطة الملكية ووزيران للمثول أمام... 18 أكتوبر، 2024 عرضٌ من ثلاثة عمالقة تبغٍ بدفع 32,5 مليار... 18 أكتوبر، 2024 Mounties search for Dartmouth man wanted on province-wide... 18 أكتوبر، 2024 Upper Kennetcook man killed after car crashes into... 18 أكتوبر، 2024 Homelessness is not stopping this Halifax man from... 18 أكتوبر، 2024 Canadians expected to spend more while gifting less... 18 أكتوبر، 2024 تعديل وزاري مرتقَب بعد إعلان أربعة وزراء عدم... 18 أكتوبر، 2024 ترودو يقول إنّ مقتل السنوار ’’ينهي عهداً من... 18 أكتوبر، 2024 Homelessness is not stopping this Halifax man from... 18 أكتوبر، 2024 More details expected on proposed deal that would... 18 أكتوبر، 2024
