The public will have the chance to provide feedback on a proposed zoning amendment for a property that is being proposed as a site for a homeless shelter in Cranbrook.
The hearing, set for Feb. 1, at 6 p.m., will be carried out virtually due to COVID-19 physical distancing regulations through a special council meeting at city hall.
The zoning amendment is for a property at 209 16th Ave N, which is the site of a proposed 40-bed homeless shelter that will be funded by BC Housing and operated by Community Connections Society of Southeast B.C.
