Victoria city council heard from staff that some other municipalities in the region have been putting homeless people in taxis and sending them to the city to access extreme weather shelters.

Victoria is home to at least 80 per cent of the shelter spaces regionwide.

Saanich Mayor Dean Murdock said he was glad Victoria was initiating the conversation, but wouldn’t commit to directly adding new shelter spaces in his city.
