New shelter to open in Ste-Marie
A new shelter for the homeless is set to open in Ste‑Marie this winter, but some residents don’t want it there. That’s an inevitability.

Hey well I’m sure some of the homeless don’t want to be homeless, either. Nobody gets precisely what they want all the time.

I can see the need for a shelter there, but offering someone a home for maximum 3 months while they find something permanent doesn’t sound too realistic. Going from homeless to affording $1500 or more for a 1½? How often can that happen?

That is the old Boite A Musique building (BAM moved to Cite 2000 on Notre Dame a few years ago). At least these new neighbours will likely be quieter than the bands that used to rehearse inside.
