City starting to wind down Esplanade shelter hotel site, reduce spacing in other shelters to make more room
The Esplanade site — which has been a source of some controversy in the neighbourhood — is one of three temporary shelters being decommissioned by the city this year. The owner of the property expects to start using it as a hotel again in 2023.
The city said that while the rest of the shelter system is not making a full return to pre-pandemic capacity levels, capacity will be raised to meet an expected increase in demand heading into the winter months. Space between beds will be reduced from two metres to 1.25 metres . The movie is expected to open up another 500 beds at city shelters where, the municipality says, "rigorous infection, prevention and control measures will remain in place.”
