The Out of the Cold programs in Kitchener-Waterloo were replaced by a shelter in Kitchener run by the Region, weren't they?
That's what happened in Cambridge with Bridges- the churches wound down their Out of the Cold services, for them to be replaced by Regional services there. A lot of the posts on those facebook groups seem to be indirectly blaming Bridges, but it's been around for more than a decade, and I don't think its services have been expanded, have they?
Didn't Bridges expand a couple of years ago? Perhaps I'm thinking of something else. In any event, such facilities are normally built to meet an existing demand, not in anticipation of new demand.
