Edmonton part of national call to repurpose hotels, motels to address homelessness before winter
September 16, 2020
Edmonton Mayor Don Iveson said the city is calling on the federal government for support to “quickly acquire” existing locations like hotels and motels in order to address homelessness in cities across Canada before winter arrives.
Iveson said Thursday that his message to find temporary housing “right away” for those experiencing homelessness has been amplified by big city mayors across Canada who are calling for the same thing.
