While I’m happy to read that Burnaby’s monetary coffers are full, it is very hard to understand why some of this money is not being put aside for a permanent homeless shelter. Our citizens have spoken often enough about the need for such a shelter; let’s use some of Burnaby’s money for that purpose.
