MPP Bill Walker announced on Saturday an Ontario Trillium Grant for $50,500 has been awarded to the Safe ‘n Sound Residence to conduct community consultations and host focus groups involving all stakeholders interested in, or involved with, the issues of chronic homelessness and evictions.

After what Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound MPP Bill walker called “a seven-day-long soap opera involving the governing Liberals and the NDP,” the Ontario budget finally passed in the legislature yesterday.

The final vote on the budget today went exactly as the vote on second reading of the budget had gone with the governing Liberals voting in favour, the opposition Progressive Conservatives voting against it and the NDP refusing to vote.
