From Ward Draper 13:08 19/04/14. On our friend Roy was shot with a bean bag gun and hospitalized. The city gave assurances that his belongings would not be removed till we had a meeting about next steps.
Right now city workers are throwing away all his belongings. Once more the city demonstrates a complete lack of integrity.
Roy is lying in the Hospital and the city takes his home.
This is revolting!
City workers take Abbotsford citizen Roy Roberts’ belongings to the dump Saturday, after assurance were given Friday that the City would store his property.Ward Draper Photo.
A difficult situation perpetuated by a City Council, who has failed to address the homeless problem in Old Downtown…a case of willing
them away has not worked.
Now what?
