DKA discouraged yet again

Same press release, different date.

That basically sums up what the Downtown Kelowna Association had to say Friday morning, sending out another press release expressing disappointment over a decision by the city and province to keep the Cornerstone Shelter open indefinitely.

It is the third extension the 80-bed homeless shelter has received in the last 14 months.

“The DKA is again disappointed with BC Housing’s announcement that Cornerstone will remain operational on Leon Avenue,” the press release read.

“The DKA continues to believe that a large, low-barrier homeless shelter like Cornerstone should not be located in the core of Kelowna’s downtown, in close proximity to numerous other social services on Leon Avenue."
