The WFN finally rejected this reckless housing project and confirmed it will not move forward on Cougar Road. This outcome proves that we had the power to stop these bureaucrats when we stood our ground against their dangerous plan. Keep your eyes sharp to ensure they never try to drop …

On December 14, 2020 a meeting was held between BC Housing and WFN in regards to a proposed supportive housing project on Cougar including a wet facility for the homeless. This proposal is a great concern to our communities as to the many safety questions and the reason why this specific area was selected as there are no facilities nearby ie shopping, public transit, medical, pharmacies etc. were not addressed.
WFN received numerous letters from people opposing this and has deferred a decision regarding this project to the spring of 2021. Once again, this is NOT a done deal and the more voices in our community and adjacent communities that speak against this facility proposed on 3235 Cougar Rd, Westbank on WFN lands, the better chance we have for the project to be denied.
Thanks you to all whom sent in an email but lets keep communication up and present this petition to them.
This location is not well though out as there is a lack of fundamental requirements of the proposed residents including lack of public transit, lack of amenities including grocery stores, pharmacies, medical facilities, etc. It is also close to a school, senior complexes and other residents whom will undoubtable be subject to additional crime, discarded needles, etc.
For the well being of our community and safety of the residents living on WFN lands PLEASE sign this petition which will be presented to the WFN in the spring before a final decision is made.
PLEASE join in a united effort to stop this project from going forward.

BC Housing is still trying to force this reckless project onto our doorstep despite the glaring lack of resources in this area. We are closing in on 100 signatures so force this issue into the spotlight and send the link to everyone you know right now.

This facility is located in an isolated area and should be in an area where facilities such as transit and shopping is more readily available. It will also be too close to family housing. This is not the location that will work.
We feel this is a real conflict of interest. Sage creek had been marketed as a retirement community in a single family zoned area. And now the owner of Sage Creek is giving up his right to the land in question for a possible wet house?
Strongly oppose to the supportive housing project on Cougar Road because it does not provide adequate services to those living in the housing project and as well it is too near an extremely vulnerable seniors population as well as a heavily populated residential area with children and schools.
My house faces cougar rd and I am constantly seeing police, ambulance, and fire trucks stopping on this street on a regular basis. I have children's who like to play their yard and I would be afraid to let them if this was to happen. I do not want this in our neighborhood.
Why would WFN build several gated communities then even consider a ‘supported housing project’? With a ‘wet facility’? Chief Tomat Elementary school is not that far away, are you really not concerned with all those children in this area?
I do NOT support this initiative
Afraid of the consequences!
