Mr. Chair, during the hiatus between May and September, Yellowknife Health and Social Services actually went out and did a number of engagements with the public and other individuals about what types of programs and services they expected or would like to see, including actual conversations with the homeless people who happen to use the shelter, probably the best people to talk to about the types of things they wanted. That has helped to form some of the things that are going to be taking place.

There are a lot of significant changes between the old Day Shelter and the Day Shelter that we have today. One of them is around training that the staff are receiving. Staff are actually receiving training in this facility, unlike the old facility, in things like trauma, informed practice for service delivery, principles of crisis intervention as well as day-shelter-specific programming or training for programs that the Day Shelter current provider wishes to provide. I’d be happy to share that information with the specific programming with the Member once the Day Shelter is in a position to start delivering that. Some of that is not being delivered just yet because they are still in a tweak phase with respect to finishing some of the construction in that building.
