🎤🙋 Open Delegations

🌳🚜 Call for Open Delegations: Funding Request for Bayview Park Reservoir Decommissioning and Removal (Ward 2)

↪️📥 Deferred / Referred Items

🏥🆘 RVH Emergency Room Physicians Advocate For Warming Centres

• Open Letter from Royal Victoria Hospital Emergency Room Physicians, November 19:  https://barrie.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=13949924&GUID=4503277B-E56E-47A4-B1D4-3222DE1E8887 

• The RVH Emergency Department Physicians urgently ask Council for more access to safe warming areas for the homeless population in Barrie [It is appalling that this urgent letter from November 19 is not being considered until April 30 - how many people died and how much hospital money was spent due to this unconscionable delay?]
