Cuts re duce she

THE CUTS only took place |
July 15, but the Terrace
Emergency Shelter is al-
ready feeling the sting of a
greatly reduced budget,

The provincial govern-
ment has cut back the
Shelter's funding by 30 per
cent, about $70,000, forcing
it to drastically alter its
hours and services.

The shelter has bad to sig-
nificantly reduce its hours of
operation from 24 to 16
hours a day,

It is now open from 9 p.m.
each evening to 12 p.m. the
following day, leaving a
nine-hour gap in between.

“Nine hours is a long time
not to have a house — its a
concern in the winter,” said
Costain, shelter manager.

The shelter’s capacity has
also been reduced from 10
to seven beds, and they've
already had io turn people
away.

The funding cuts came
about after a review of user
rales of all emergency
shelters across the province.

In 1996, the shelter saw a
drop in clients by about 50
people from the 416 people
helped in 1995.

Costain suspects the slight
drop in numbers was a reac-
tion to the three-month wait-
ing period imposed on out
of town welfare recipients.

. But this year, the shelter
has already scen 211 people

come through its doors, 23 ;

of whom were couples.

‘What to me is really
hurting is the meal times —
we're not able to feed
people like we used to,’
said Costain. ‘‘This is
presenting a challenge to the
staff.”

She explained that meal
time used to be between 5

and 6 p.m., but because the |

shelter is now closed during
the day, clients have to wait
until about 10 p.m. for din-
ner.

The shelter's mandate is to
provide up to five days stay
and three meals a day for

er services

TERRACE EMERGENCY Shelter manager Janet
Costain is worried that clients won't get a hot meal
during the day. Services and hours have already

been significantly reduced because of the govern-
ment budget cuts. The shelter’s new hours are from 9
p.m. in the evening to 12 p.m. the following day.

life skills training to clients
who don’t always have the
pfoper resources,

Daytime hours allowed
workers the opportunity to
asses the needs of clients,
give them proper referrals,
and help with resume writ-
ing.

“One of the benefits we
had added is teaching them
(the clients) haw to cook

their self-esteem, she ex-
plained.
The clients also do

volunteer work around the
house, like cutting the grass
or shoveling snow in the
winter time. This also
helped clients build self

. esteem.
A tighter budget also
means the shelfer won't

also effected by the budget
cuts.

“It works out to about
nine hours a weck (less) per
staff member,’” Costain

The Terrace Emergency
Shelter was established
three years apo in reaction
to the death of Daisy
Walker, who died of ex-
posure after living on the
streets of Terrace,

The shelter will be looking
for community support and
donations to make up for
some of the gap in the
budget.

Can't wait till lunch

THE CITY’S dump doesn’t open iil noon and that’s
creating problems for road and building contractors,

Lael McKeown of Progressive Ventures wrote to city
council last week saying that commercial customers
suffer under the late opening. For example, if a build-
ing site needs to be cleared before work can progress,
truck drivers have to wait till noon to drop their loads
al the landfill.

City councillor David Hull said businesses talked
about paying a user fee for the early moming- service.
That way residential customers, who generally aren’t
inconvenienced by the lunch-time opening, won't have
to pay more,

The committee of the whole will look at the issue and
report back to council.

Cheaper bus rides

COLLEGE STUDENTS will have the option of buying
cheaper bus passes this fall.

Northwest Community College students can already
buy monthly transit passes at a reduced price but now
theyll be able to buy a pass for a whole semester even
cheaper.

Semester passes for students have proved popular in
Nanaimo, Kelowna and Prince Rupert, and often have
resulted in significant increases in student ridership.
