Port Pub renovation ordered

Mayor Sharie Minions says none of the residents in the 34-unit no-barrier apartment building should be displaced.

“We recognize the value of low and no-barrier housing for people who need it in the community however, those people still require safety standards to be met,” she said. “We can’t let landlords own properties and not maintain them to a point of the building being unsafe for people to be in so our staff including the fire department have deemed this building is needing this remedial action with full support by council.”

Minions said the Manager of Community Safety and Social Development will work with social service agencies to help tenants get safe, affordable housing if any residents are forced out.
