The city will spend $1.9 million of the plan's budget to hire a dozen bylaw staff, with a focus on deploying to Pandora and Princess avenues and the downtown area, and working to complement police officers in the area, it said Wednesday in a statement.
The Victoria Police Department will receive $1.35 million to hire nine new police officers
I'm going to guess a huge chunk of that will be spent on training them, basically they have to be sent over to New West for a year so accomadation plus education costs
Nanaimo, B.C., proposes $412K iron fence to separate city hall from nearby overdose prevention site
The City of Nanaimo says it is considering building a 1.8-metre-high fence to protect its staff from what it describes as "congregations" of people, violence and disorder associated with an overdose prevention site next to city hall.
Staff proposing the $412,000 fence cite "intimidation and harassment" of employees, particularly those working early or late, as well as damage to staff vehicles, fires near doorways and building perimeters, human waste and a general deterioration of the site.
Mayor Leonard Krog said in an interview Monday that the municipality had a legal obligation to protect its staff and property, and the final costs may be less or more than the recommended budget.
"Since this relocation, the city has experienced a significant increase in disorder around city hall and SARC," the report says.
"Disorderly behaviour is common both during and outside the facility's hours of operation. When closed, individuals frequently congregate in the parking lots, gardens, and shaded areas around city hall and SARC, leading to considerable safety and operational challenges."
The report says there are "congregations of 20 to 30+ individuals during early morning and evening hours."
"Disorderly behaviour is common both during and outside the facility's hours of operation. When closed, individuals frequently congregate in the parking lots, gardens, and shaded areas around city hall and SARC, leading to considerable safety and operational challenges."
These sites are important for treatment, etc, but its not like the citizens were being outrageous not wanting in their communities, and now City Hall doesnt want it on their lawn.
I wonder who could have seen that coming?
They have to learn to use their Natural Resources accordingly. De-Commissioned Cruise ship moored in the harbor = ideal site.

That guy is unreasonably proud of 15 Police Officers over 5 years. Like he just cant let it go or understand that...it really doesnt mean anything.
