Great pragmatic ideas. Put the Neighbourhood Response Team's # in your cel. 519-373-6263

And another pragmatic idea - the Provincial Government has downloaded so much to municipalities. It is still not stepping up for this homeless and housing crisis in smaller communities. If you have time, send an e-mail to our own MPP, Alex Ruff, asking him to pass on this message to his government colleagues. MPP Ruff's e-mail is: alex.ruff@parl.gc.ca

oops - correction! The MPP for Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound is Paul Vickers, not Alex Ruff. Apologies!

the MPP's e-mail is paul.vickers@pc.ola.org

Thank you, Joel, for your understanding, compassion and thoughtfulness in sharing your experience. It's encouraging to read this rather than the negative putdowns that are on social media. Too many people would rather react negatively and blame and belittle those less fortunate instead of reaching out to listen, learn and help. Yours is the positive, caring attitude that is needed.
