4-PILLARS GROUP GETS GRANT
The City of Kelowna has received a $30,000 grant from the federal
government that will allow the Central Okanagan Four Pillars Coalition to
complete its work.
"The money will allow for a community forum and the implementation plan
with a budget attached," said city councillor Sharon Shepherd.
"The money has to be spent by March 31 so that puts a deadline to it."
The coalition was formed last year in response to reports of surging street
crime and open drug use in Kelowna's downtown area.
Subcommittees in the areas of harm reduction, enforcement, prevention and
treatment--the four pillars--have been meeting for the last year.
The Four Pillars coalition presented an interim report to council two weeks
ago and has said it will complete its framework for action by January.
