City of Red Deer and province continue discussion about potential site for future shelter
Following a meeting with provincial ministers in Calgary on Tuesday regarding Red Deer’s future shelter site, city council revealed Thursday they were requested to supply further information before disclosing the location to the public.
“We know our community has been patiently waiting for us to identify the potential future shelter site in our city; this is a big decision, and we must ensure that we are making the best decision possible for our community – and that we are making that decision in good faith and partnership with our provincial colleagues,” said Mayor Ken Johnston. “We are continuing to move forward with our provincial partners, and we want to have a decision for our community very soon.”
During a closed meeting Sept. 12, council selected a potential site for the future shelter and presented the site to the province as part of the site selection process. While initially planned for public disclosure at Monday’s meeting, the City stated further analysis was needed by the province.
