![]() Why not buy or repurpose a large field, fence and equip it with toilet facilities and running water, and make that the permanent and only place where homeless camping is allowed? The province has opted to spend millions to acquire hotels for the homeless, then more to staff and to maintain them, but camping on city property just isn’t going away. Then there are the ever-increasing costs of endlessly moving encampments, followed by remediation of each disastrous mess that is predictably left behind. When Victoria city councillors meet to discuss falling revenues, hopefully delaying non-urgent capital projects (like new bike lanes, a “nice to have” from any perspective) will be a no-brainer. Surely the cost to remediate Topaz Park is a fraction of what has been spent on hotels such as the Comfort Inn.įurther, it begs the question: When campers are removed from Beacon Hill and the city/province complete the remediation work, will all areas of Beacon Hill be fenced off?

The result was chaos and as most Victorians know, placement for many of those in Topaz across the street into the hotel formerly known as the Comfort Inn. The province, in concert and with the full support of the City of Victoria, placed hundreds of people from the street in Topaz Park by mid-April. Made for a soothing enjoyable holiday afternoon. Thanks to the trumpet player on Monday afternoon playing beautiful melodic tunes drifting over the park’s landscape. Not unless and until the restaurant owners start to get serious in encouraging people entering their enclosed quarters facility, including their staff, to wear a mask.įinally, some lovely sounds coming from Beacon Hill Park. Outside, lots of people at tables, not one mask in sight. That was good to see, but very disappointing to see that not one person other than myself had a mask on, including none of the staff. When I approached the door there were 17 in front of me and the line quickly grew behind me.
