Duncan shelter for women rejected after neighbours protest
Duncan council has rejected a proposal for a 15-bed temporary winter shelter for women that was strongly opposed by neighbours.
The vote underscores the issue of how to provide safe shelter for homeless women. In Nanaimo, a shortage of shelter beds sent some women to a tent city for homeless people that was ordered to shut down next month.
