May 29 Near Neighbour Meeting Presentation Slides

On May 29, we hosted a Near Neighbour Meeting at Christ Church Cataraqui from 6 to 7:30 p.m. to share updates about the new emergency shelter. The session was moderated by Jennifer Campbell, Commissioner, Community Services, and included opening remarks from District Councillor Paul Chaves and a presentation by Jayne Hartley, Director, Housing and Social Services. Approximately 200 residents in the neighbourhood surrounding the 924 Sydenham Road Shelter site attended and had the opportunity to ask questions of City staff and Kingston Police. We sincerely appreciate the time that everyone took to attend the May 29 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.

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.
