Protest outside Abbotsford City Hall today after homeless shelter rejected

A protest is planned this afternoon in Abbotsford, as homeless advocates fight back against the city council’s decision to reject a proposed men’s shelter.

Last week, city council voted down a plan to build a 20-bed shelter, citing community opposition to the location.

If approved, the plan would have had the financial backing of the province and BC Housing.

Many councillors say they’re still open to exploring other locations.

Today’s protest starts at noon in front of City Hall.
