Adelaide Street Shelter Community Workshop Update

Dear Residents and Neighbours, 

Thank you for your interest in the upcoming community workshop on June 11, and for joining us at our previous meeting in May. We’re looking forward to working with and hearing from you. The workshop will take place on Wednesday, from 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. in the cafeteria at Regiopolis-Notre Dame Catholic High School, enter from 130 Russell St.

In advance of the workshop, we wanted to share an update on the format and goals of the evening with you. This is organized as a working session, participants will have the chance to join in facilitated table discussions to help identify areas of concern and to help envision what the future use of the site could be after the shelter has wound down. Insights gathered at the tables will be shared back with everyone attending and help guide next steps in responding to those challenges and future vision for the site.

An agenda for the meeting is shared below to give you a sense of how the evening will flow:

• Welcome and introduction 
• Table work: current state, ideas and concerns 
• Report back from the groups 
• Break 
• Table work: future planning 
• Report back from the groups 
• Conclusion and next steps 

For anyone not able to make the meeting, updates and What We Heard reporting will be posted on the Get Involved Kingston page.  

Thank you again for your ongoing interest in the project, we’re looking forward to continuing the conversation on Wednesday.
