From tonight's City Hall agenda, one Councillor is questioning the wisdom of paying one million dollars so a private company can move into the Whelan Building. Rebecca Johnson says the money would be for the second phase of renovations to the building. Another 2 million dollars for the renovations would come from other government sources. Meanwhile, Officials at Shelter House are planning to expand the fledgling managed alcohol program. Executive Director Patty Hajdu is to appear before city Councillors tonight with a plan to take the program into the vacant EMS building on George Street.
