LETTER: Fire reveals risks associated with camp

Finally there has now been a fire at the Regina Park homeless camp, and their "advocate" can only say that it " shows that they can handle these things."

Finally there has now been a fire at the Regina Park homeless camp, and their “advocate” can only say that it ” shows that they can handle these things.”

When is someone in the joke of a bureaucracy that’s supposedly running Sannich going to grow a pair and stand up to these people? This Chrissy Brett and the other “advocate” think they’ve got a grip on the whole government, because of everyone’s lack of guts to do anything they may be right. Again, what about the rights of all of us who pay taxes? What about our rights? What happens next time when the fire reaches the surrounding houses or the stench from the camp reaches everyone entering Victoria? Unbelievable.
