The announcement was made by local officials, who emphasized the importance of addressing homelessness in the region.
Shelter Details
The shelter will offer temporary accommodations and access to resources such as meals, counseling, and health services. It is part of a broader effort by the provincial government to expand shelter capacity across Nova Scotia. The site at 48 Elm Street was selected due to its central location and accessibility to public transit and other amenities.
