๐Halifax council has approved nine new parks for designated homeless encampments to alleviate overcrowding at current sites. As of June 25, the city's four sanctioned sites, designed for 30 people, were sheltering 88 tents or structures. Additional tents were found at Northbrook Park in Dartmouth, the old Halifax Memorial Library, and various urban and rural locations. The council's decision aims to accommodate the growing number of homeless individuals, which now totals 1,316. Staff selected parks that aren't near schools or culturally sensitive areas but are close to transit and services.โ . ๐๐ฑ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ญ ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐ ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐ฏ๐ข๐ฌ๐- ๐๐ญ ๐ ๐ญ๐ข๐ฆ๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐๐๐ ๐๐จ๐ง๐ฏ๐๐ง๐ข๐๐ง๐ญ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ! ๐๐จ๐ฆ ๐๐๐ญ๐ญ๐๐ฆ ๐๐จ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐ ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐ฏ๐ข๐ฌ๐จ๐ซ +๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ฃ๐จ๐ฆ.๐ฆ๐๐ญ๐ญ๐๐ฆ@๐๐ข๐๐.๐๐จ๐ฆ @jom_mattam . . #Halifax #Homelessness #CityCouncil #CommunitySupport #PublicParks #UrbanPlanning #HomelessEncampments #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews
