Victoria councillor writes about efforts to find shelter for people camping in parks
I appreciated reading “Victoria’s neighbourhoods need protection,” the July 25 letter from Lynn Andersen on behalf of the Stadacona Centre Strata Council.
Andersen expressed frustration that anecdotal stories related to crime and disorder were not being validated. I am aware of how upsetting and frustrating that must be for her and others in her position. During several conversations with VicPD patrol officers during the election campaign, I was told they spent almost all their time on calls involving homelessness.
The data confirmed that police calls were dramatically lower for Tiny Town compared to calls to parks, streets, and boulevards where unsheltered homelessness occurred.
