What are 3 things you think are going well for Kamloops, what 3 things need improving and what are 3 things you'd like to express that could promote compassion and dignity towards our cities most vulnrable?
Going well for Kamloops:
- The new affordable housing projects are a good start.
- The city has developed a great community and neighborhoods plans
- It has just the right size, big enough to offer everything one might need, small enough to still be able to talk to each other on the street.
Things need improving:
- The practical implementation of the community plans is largely missing.
- Transit, walkability , public transport, public spaces
- The larger vision on what the city should look like in 5/10/20 years.
promote compassion and dignity towards our cities most vulnerable?
- We need to get away from the "Nimby" approach, they are our fellow humans and it is our duty to care for them.
- Talk to the most vulnerable.Most of us have an opinion about them,few have ever actually talked or spend any time with them.
- Most of us are just a few rent/mortgage payments away from being homeless. Always remember that.
