Peng You
Peng You, who most recently has served four years as an at-large city councillor in Thunder Bay, called for more collaboration with other levels of government to address homelessness in the city.
“We only have two hands. We cannot hold too many issues or balls — we have to collaborate [with] all levels of governments, organizations, especially Indigenous agency leaders and chiefs,” he said.
“This issue is 24/7. It’s not that we have so many agencies working like this. So that’s why SOS is a very good program.”
The problems of drug trafficking and homelessness are getting worse every year, Peng You told CBC News, so governments and agencies have to find new and better ways to deal with the issues, includes heeding the call for more addiction treatment services.
