On the corner of 16th Ave NW and Centre Street there is the old brick building.

I live almost within spitting distance of the place (if there is a high wind) and I hear yesterday and read today that they are turning the Brick into a temporary homeless shelter.

Now, I dont mind them doing that (I wouldnt want to have to survive the cold outside) as I do very little shopping in that area, the Safeway to the North is already a cedy joint so I travel elsewhere for groceries. I hear its a temporary measure, I assume just for this winter as I had assumed that the reason the building was still vacant was the fact that they will be tearing it down to widen 16th ave.

Does anyone know how temporary it is and or when they are planning on tearing the building down (if they are) - I assume next spring as they look to be over 80% completed the NW section - there is some touchups etc to be done but.

Thanks
