Dear Editor:
I used to live in the Wellington area until 2002 and now live in Finland.
It’s hard for me to understand why there are people living on the street in Guelph/Wellington, but even harder to know that local councils don’t understand what such people need.
It’s obvious they want their own community and when offered rooms here and there it’s like splitting up siblings to various foster homes. Look to successful solutions and invest in these people who have fallen through the (Trudeau) system.
Investing in the “well to do” is inconsistent with Canadian values – people before profits.
I worked in downtown Guelph in the 90s, and it was a vibrant place – now it’s shamefully desolate and bland.
Yvonne Shepherd,
