Encampment Protocol Review

We have NO SAFE Parks for our kids to play in but have Town Council harrasing a taxpayer who lives in middle of nowhere for not cutting her grass ??Worst thing that ever happened to me as a Taxpayer was South Frdericksburg being forced to Amalgamate with Napanee.South Fred resident forever.

No encampments at all.Why are we paying for cleanup after they migrate to another site ?

Why is Greater Napanee taxpayers paying for homeless to stay in a local hotel ?

With new sharps boxes being purchased will someone teach these USERS how to place them in the box ?

$15000.00 to clean up the Encampment trash ?? Do we no longer have a Public Works Dept. in Greater Napanee ? Someone please enlighten me why we are forking over bushels of cash to a private sector company.

Why has Napanee Not declared a homeless state of emergency like other drug infested,garbage strewn communities in Ontario?

Toronto wasted 1 Billion dollars in last fiscal year on Encampments.How much will Greater Napanee waste and why are we Taxpayers not told of the costs for these homeless ?

Why can PELASS not come up with a concrete solution to the endless number of campers in Greater Napanee ? Put them in Institutions,there has to be numerous mothballed institutions that could house them.Give the Parks back to the public.

Where is our M.I.A. M.P.P. on this encampment issue ? What is he doing to end these encampments and what is Queens Park is doing on this societal problem.Their silence is deafening.

I find it Hilarious that the Town and County are at war about the Encampment Map issue? Map so we are rolling out the red carpet for more pests to infest what was once a great place to shop and live in.More wasted Tax dollars on people who contribute nothing but problems to Town residents.

This town has done to hell omg ..please fix it re homeless issues .I am calling the office today to start a petition to get rid of them !

I dont know what planet some of these respondents are living on when i see these comments andSPEND,SPEND,SPEND solutions.Are our Taxes not high enough already ? How about spending money in Greater Napanee on tax paying residents and their children ?

This transisional housing is making some wealthy people in Napanee much richer out of the pockets of us taxpayers.If you know who they are please post their names on this site.I dont support monetizing and exploiting of mentally ill people and addicts.

Where are these poor souls supposed to go? Shame.

Anyone who wants these Homeless need to take them home with them and see what happens.We TAXPAYERS cannot afford to sustain this giveaway program.

There definitely needs to be a place for these people to go but it doesn't have to be "prime" real estate. lol! Can a "field" just outside of cities and towns be created for these people. Perhaps fenced in a bit and then left alone. One area for the worst ones to do what they do and one area for the less violent ones. That one "safer" area could have more services and help. the violent ones should be left to their own devices since nobody can handle them and they hurt each other. The children and young mom's should be helped and priority and the ones who can't be housed should be given a patch of land in a less central location. I had a couple living in my backyard and they were just fine in a tent. They don't want to go to shelters. Their stuff would get stolen but others in the shelter. They also need larger storage lockers for storing their stuff. These could be coin operated and large enough for tents, generators and clothes. Public showers and laundry should be supervised and coin operated.

These Encampments are a Total JOKE.Open up K.P. and Brookside Y.C. and place these vagabonds there.How much Tax money is WASTED on these vermin already ??
