The new funds mean that throughout the winter, isolation and care centres can continue to shelter people who are sick with, or have been exposed to, COVID-19 and have nowhere else to go.
“We are confident that with this funding, shelters will be able to continue providing the compassionate care that all Albertans deserve.” The province wound down the temporary shelters at the Calgary Telus Convention Centre and Edmonton Expo Centre this summer.“We are working with both cities to explore different infrastructure and different spaces to make sure it complies with all of the social distancing requirements and also to make sure that it’s a safe place for individuals to shelter in,” Sawhney said.
