An "Our Kids Count Event in Council Chambers" that I popped into.
Jamie from DILICO and myself...she saved me from the rain this day.!
Chanel is a basically homeless in Thunder Bay resident that I met quite a while ago while campaigning in the south ward of the city, I have often seen her outside of the Dollar store at Centennial Square with a cardboard sign asking those who pass her buy to donate some loose change in order for her to be able to purchase food for herself and her boyfriend to consume. I have actually re-written her sign in order to provide a much better message about her situation in the hope of my changing it will be for her betterment. I am seeing more and more of this type of thing in the city during the past year. As of the last count approximately 3 months ago the city as recorded by TBDH has just under 500 people considered as being homeless and we also have another 1,000 individuals according to the management individual at TBDH with whom I received the number of 1,000 people on a affordable housing list 1 1/2 months ago when I called TBDH seeking the information as noted above.
I have been attempting to find her a much safer & much better place to "LIVE"
other than the "Odd Fellows Building" on May Street where she currently resides.

I was in the Delaney arena looking to find out what ever happened to the `Fort William Redskins football team photo and plaque that at one time were hanging on the wall leading down to the dressing rooms...long story short,
I found out where it is being stored and have been reassured by
Larry Hebert that they will be hung back up where they belong.

more year to work for the city and then it's retirement time.!
