Mount Tolmie Hospital Shelter Update – PHS extension to Feb 28, 2023
On December 20, 2022, BC Housing issued a letter to local residents, which some of you will have received, stating that they had reached an agreement with Island Health to extend the current use of the Mount Tolmie Hospital temporary shelter until Feb 28, 2023. (Recall that the current lease on the property expired Dec 31, 2022.) As discussed at former Town Hall meetings hosted by the Mayor’s office, we have been aware for some time that the shelter operator (PHS) was planning to move to a new permanent supportive housing facility once it was completed.
