May 13 Information Session Community Meeting Presentation Slides

On May 13, we hosted an Information Session at Regiopolis-Notre Dame Catholic School from 6 to 7:30 p.m. to share updates about the Adelaide Street Shelter. The session was moderated by Jennifer Campbell, Commissioner, Community Services, and included opening remarks from District Councillor Gregory Ridge and a presentation by Jayne Hartley, Director, Housing and Social Services. Approximately 50 residents in the neighbourhood surrounding the Adelaide Street Shelter attended, and had the opportunity to ask questions of City staff, Kingston Police and Lionhearts. We sincerely appreciate the time that everyone took to attend the May 13 meeting.

While we work to compile all of the questions received during the meeting in order to theme and respond to concerns raised, we want to ensure that neighbours who weren't able to attend can access the presentation (which is included below). If you require the presentation in an alternate format, please contact us.

A commitment we made to residents during the meeting was to set up a follow up meeting to discuss and workshop together the issues and concerns brought forward. We are working now to book time and location for this meeting, and will share these details shortly. Please be sure to click Follow Project or contact us to receive these updates by email.

If you have questions about the shelter, please share them with us using the form here on Get Involved Kingston. To report a concern with clean up on public property, use our Service Request portal on MyKingston. Reports to Kingston Police can be filed online or by calling 613-549-4660. In emergencies, please call 911.
