Near neighbour meeting presentation slides

On Dec. 10, 2025, we hosted a community workshop at Zion Senoirs Housing from 6 to 7:30 p.m., where approximately 20 community members joined in for a conversation about the winddown of the Adelaide Street Shelter and the future use of the 38 Cowdy site.

The meeting included opening remarks from District Councillor Gregory Ridge and a presentation by Jayne Hartley, Director, Housing and Social Services. Kingston Police and Housing and Social Services staff were also in attendance. The meeting slides are provided below for anyone who was unable to attend last week’s meeting. The Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page has been updated based on the questions and feedback from the meeting.

If you have additional questions about the meeting, please share them with us using the form here on Get Involved Kingston. For other questions, concerns, and reports, please refer to the linked Homelessness Services Who to Call rackcard.
