Happening today!

“I write to you out of desperation….” This says it all. Today - Royal University Hospital ER When will registered nurses be heard? They are literally pleading for help every day, as we set frightening records for all the wrong reasons in #Sask’s biggest ERs. #skpoli

“You can’t say ‘Alberta is calling’ for years, brag about record population growth, and then act surprised when that same population growth increases the demand on our public services…”

Recall: this clinic was announced during the last election campaign. There was no consultation. No one I have ever talked to had heard anything about plans for a new UCC. Also: we have an ER that closes every night at 8:30 that should be opened 24h first.

Even though we're one step closer to having an emergency shelter in #yqr, yesterday's meeting lingers. Discussions surrounding location of the shelter consistently highlight how the unhoused belong nowhere. #yqrcc #EmergencyShelter 1/

According to some on council, we cannot "sacrifice” space/businesses/public safety for those that do not count in the right way. 3/ #yqr #yqrcc #EmergencyShelter

The safety and security of the unhoused is not equivalent to the safety and security of property owners, clients, customers, “the public”. #yqr #yqrcc #EmergencyShelter 4/

But, the unhoused ARE part of the public, ARE part of public health, ARE part of public safety. Their lives matter more than a set of numbers, statistics, encounters, & discomfort by those with privilege. 5/ #yqr #yqrcc #EmergencyShelter

I hope when this comes to #yqrcc for an official decision, there will be greater respect & dignity displayed to the most vulnerable members of this City who, whether we like it or not, are our neighbours, family, friends, acquaintances, our public. 6/ #yqr #EmergencyShelter
