Whereas Council has established municipal standards that prevent encampments on City property except pursuant to a permit; And whereas Council considers it appropriate to maintain such standards but, pursuant to By-law 23-090, resolved to temporarily amend them to the extent of delegating to the City’s Commissioner, Community Services, the authority to establish a temporary encampment within the land comprising approximately 0.7 acre at the southeast corner of Aylmer and Wolfe Streets subject to conditions to be determined by the said Commissioner and for a period ending November 15, 2023; And whereas it is advisable to extend such period to January 5, 2024; Now therefore be it resolved 1. That By-law 23-090 be amended by deleting from its paragraph 2.b) the text, “November 15, 2023”, and by substituting the text, “January 5, 2024”; and 2. That the amending by-law be passed by Council at a special open meeting of Council on Monday, November 6, 2023.
