There were no fireworks and no big announcements during Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray's press conference Monday dealing with the Gospel Mission.

The city hired an American consulting firm to look at the future of the Gospel Mission which has been in the news recently -- all negative coverage dealing with drug dealers and businesses having to move from Leon Ave.

The study cost $25,000 and some were anticipating the Mayor to announce the Gospel Mission was being moved to another location. But that didn't happen. However, the study does make a hint at a change in location. "A number of possibilities were explored to improve the efficiency of service delivery, which could lead to program growth and a change in location." The study goes on to say, Relocation would help separate the facility from the criminal transient element that can frequent the downtown core."

The consultants, who were on hand to answer questions from the media, said they were impressed with the Gospel Mission and its staff but didn't offer any suggestions on where the facility should move.

They added that there needs to be cooperation from all levels of government and contributions from the community if the Gospel Mission were to find another home.

The City says it's committed to working with the Gospel Mission and has identified several land options that can be provided to the Society at minimal cost.
