One facility with a kitchen, housing and programs properly administered for those on the street and in need is required. As long as you continue to use our tax dollars and donations to the existing system those in need will continue to be in need. Where is Vic Fedeli and our local politicians? Efficiencies are more important than ever. Our local problems will never be fixed in Washington!

Jackie, we are not third world. The encampments are not the answer. The government at all levels must get serious about fixing the problem. You must provide food, water, and shelter to a dog. Why would society think that an encampment with no running water and a toilet be acceptable. Go after Peter Chirico, Vic Fedeli, Doug Ford, and Justin Trudeau for a viable solution.

Someone at City Hall should share what the process is to the rate payers. This was not done on a whim. This was a planned project and the details need to be shared with the citizens of North Bay. How much was spent to date and why? How much more will be spent and why?

We can only wonder who Mr. Chippa reported to. Lack of accountable not only by Mr. Chippa.

So many are in their own homes and they are not getting the care they deserve and need. Far too often family claim that they are providing the care, but it is for the wrong reasons. We need more home care, personal health care and a program to stop family members claiming that they are providing the proper care that a dementia patient needs. Social isolation is a real problem for many dementia patients.

The councillors must know. Perhaps they can share with the taxpayers if the city staff are not being transparent.

One efficient accountable transparent service under one roof is needed only in North Bay and all cities. All government funding to services with no accountability must stop. Those on salary or getting paid wages must be evaluated for performance and accountability. It should not be a free for all on the backs of taxpayers and those making donations. No excuse for the lack of accountability in the past is acceptable. Ask who you are serving and why if you are serious about helping someone find their way in life.

Lots of hand outs Vic. Is this how we appear to fix problems? Some problems are deeper than throwing cash at them.

You put a tax on hydro being sent to the States and then turned around and cancelled it. You vowed to not "roll over" in the face of American tariffs. It would be far better to think things through so you don’t have to back down and make everyone wonder about our leadership.
