Expanding the alcohol management program by the city's homeless shelter is not
sitting well with all city councillors. Joe Virdiramo says allowing the program
to expand to the old EMS building on George Street is only going to make
problems in that area of the city worse. He says it's because there's an overabundance of social services in the area and the city may be creating a ghetto. Shelter House
officials made their case for expanding the program to the new facility, but
Councillor Virdiramo says another location would be better
