Guelph News: Mayor wants Tent Cities in Parks, Norfolk Manor becomes Homeless Hotel | June 2024

The Fellowship of Guelphissauga continues with the Mayor bringing the tent cities to Park Place. With over 1000 new students looming on the Shire's University's residence wait-list, he had to find them places to pitch a tent this fall. The Homeless Hotels were already overflowing into Norfolk Manor, so the Mayor wanted to go full YIMBY mode over two public parks to build more affordable housing. Meanwhile in the Swamps of Toronto, the Ontario Ombudsman’s 2024 annual report was released, showing that the number of official complaints in the Shire's region were up compared to last year. The Sunshine Listers reacted to the report with more government spending on a Lobbyist Registry and a Communications Assistant for the Mayor. Can Carly of Klassen and the Elder Elves do anything about the Housing Cost Crisis, and will the Mayor bring the tents to Park Place?
