EDMONTON The Tipinawâw shelter at the Edmonton Convention Centre will remain in place until April 30. City council voted unanimously Thursday to provide the extra $2.2 million administration says is needed to operate the temporary shelter for another month. The shelter was previously slated to close March 31. While city councillors did approve the temporary shelter s extension, some pointed out that the makeshift space should still be seen as a band-aid solution to a problem in need of more permanent measures. I think we ve learned a lot about the standard of care and meeting people where they re at, Mayor Don Iveson said shortly before council s vote.
