On the agenda

As the city filed it

The media is sharing news today that the City has issued a request for proposals for contracted security to keep watch of its parks. The role of these private security guards will include advising the City immediately if any illegal tent or structure is erected in a park. The City understands that living outdoors for extended periods is not a path to good health. The City has a duty to ensure that everyone has access to safe shelter and permanent supportive housing.

Staff recommended

Councillor Gord Perks, seconded by Councillor Mike Layton, recommends that: 1. City Council direct that spending on security guards at 6 City parks be deferred until City Council has been fully briefed on a variety of options including options of spending on connecting people with spaces where they have the health supports and amenities.
