Re: “Mayor fails to meet goal of ending homelessness,” March 25.
Your article notes the excellent effort the mayor has made on behalf of the homeless. He has talked our provincial government into funding 14 supportive housing buildings; the same provincial government that fails to adequately fund schools, universities, health care, and social services.
Mayor Robertson’s pledge has focused attention on some of our most needy citizens. That focus helps us remember we are citizens, with responsibility for other citizens, and not just parsimonious taxpayers. We need to take care of each other, and helping the homeless is part of that caring, the duty of every citizen.
