At council's executive committee meeting earlier this week, councillors agreed to provide additional funding to support daytime services for the homeless, approving $2.4 million for the Bissell Centre and up to $564,704 for the Boyle Street Community Centre. But they voted 3-2 against a $4 million proposal for a new temporary shelter that would have been operated by Bissell Centre at 105th Avenue and 105th Street as a drop-in centre from May 1 to Oct. 31.

Thanks, @archited, always love some "flying camera" videos. The downtown one offers some different perspectives that I haven't seen, filmed in challenging lighting though, but excellent!

 

[IanO]

Love these.
