MAYOR"S TASK FORCE MEETING CANCELLED

A Summit Meeting for the Victoria Mayor's Task Force on Homelessness was cancelled the day before it was scheduled. This meeting had been planned and announced since September 2007 during a passionate speech in front of Council and the public when Mayor Alan Lowe promised to begin housing the homeless in no less than 120 days. Nearly $0.5 million has been spent on surveys and studies but the Mayor now claims there is not enough information available to warrant a public announcement set for Wednesday December 12, 2007. City Hall will not be making any announcement regarding the homeless until next year.
