A major overhaul is needed in Kenora District Services Board funding for homeless shelters.The suggestion comes from the represtentatives of Sioux Lookout and Kenora.
Sioux Lookout Mayor Denis Leney says several people are in area communities getting intoxicated and using the shelters as homes.
He says some clients go out get drunk, get arrested, go out and drink again and end up staying in the shelter to sleep things off.
He voted against a resolution to fund the Out-of-the Cold Shelter to the tune of 26-thousand dollars.
The resolution did pass with 26-grand going to the Red Lake Shelter and 15-thousand to the Kenora Fellowship Centre.
