Park Street Shelter and Outreach Center to stay

P-E-I’s government is bringing in regulations that will allow a Charlottetown emergency shelter to keep operating.Steven Myers says a recent city decision that would have ended the ability of the shelter on Park Street to continue was unacceptable and would have caused encampments and homelessness.Myers says the province will enact regulation to create a special planning area that includes the shelter and allow the minister to take the decision directly to keep it going.On Tuesday night, the city council had voted to reject the province’s request for an extension of a zoning change to cover the shelter’s operations on Park Street.
