Supper- 83 meals served

While not directly related this is about cities and responses to poverty...
Last night Saint John Non-profit housing made an application to council to have a PARKING LOT rezoned for a multipunit building (51 units with 26 subsized for non-elderly singles - ie the working poor).
Council TABLED the thing for 2 weeks, because some councillors (particularly Hooten) are concerned the project is TOO BIG (because you know poverty is only a small problem and should be solved with small solutions) and because the buidling doesn't look historic enough.
Maybe Hooten is rich enough to care about historic looking stuff, but Saint John needs housing - not another tourist attraction.
Charles, this seems to be right up your ally. You should get the word out that council needs to let Saint John Non Profit housing get its job done.
Is this the only place that serves free meals in Fredericton? Are the numbers worse certain times of the year? Sad that the government is wasting money each day on themselves and are never held accountable and play god with people's lives.
Do you know how many people in Saint John have to use our Soup Kitchen?
THankyou CFBC for taking the initiative to use our City Bus this past weekend to go to all Super Store locations to stuff the bus. Good job well done especially since the city said they didnot need them this year in the parade to collect food for the food bank. After several years of volunteering I do wonder why they seem to turn people away.
The Empty Stocking Fund also made some changes; after forty years Irving decided Gary Dean was no longer needed and they want to go a different direction. A difference seems to be maybe they are using big corporations and are they trying to give our Empty Stocking to Moncton to better their Christmas Daddies. Who knows but throwing it out there because everyone is talking about.
Gary Dean and many more volunteers have always given for more than forty years; thank you.
More recognition should of been given to such kind giving person; sad way to treat another senior.
Curious if Uptown Saint John had any part is this. They certainly knew how to get rid of the best Santa Claus.
