City needs to find proper housing for the homeless

Walking through Lethbridge’s tent city outside the shelter the other day and seeing drug paraphernalia (needles) on the ground made me think I was in the downtown East Side of Vancouver. I have lived in the city for over 30 years and have enjoyed living here. I understand on a basic level the complexity of solving the homeless/addiction problem. Sometimes, I engage in wishful thinking wanting to have the City of Lethbridge move the shelter into the old Save-On Foods building that has been dormant for many years. I encourage the City to use their brain power to find housing for the struggling people who live in tent city.
