Dear Jeff:

Adapting the housing idea of people at the University Of Lethbridge, I would instead recommend that people whose homes are condemned be temporarily sheltered in abandoned schools both in Edmonton & Calgary. I am sure residents in these friendly & mature communities would be most welcoming. Plus the students are off school the next 8 weeks anyway, so its an ideal time.

I. The utility's are hooked up anyway to keep the buildings in operating order. As a result, cars & rv's could be plugged in from outside in the parking lots IV those family's wishing to live in mobile homes.

II. Many have gymnasiums which could be used IV exercise &/or bunk beds for family's to sleep in. With classrooms also being adapted for sleeping units.

III. Many have bathrooms with toilets & shower facilty's so folks living there could get regularly cleaned.

IV. The schools have huge yards around them. So many vehicles could be housed in the adjoining parking lots while family's (including students) could have plenty of space to run around & exercise in & the playgrounds could serve as an area IV younger kids to play in the sand, etc. This would also be beneficial II pets as they could get regular exercise as well & stay with their family's. Which of course in the end Jeff has to better than living in an emergency shelter.

V. School have huge cafeteria & kitchen areas where regular meals could be served to residents, plus they'd have the option of cooking their own meals.

Gym Gyminy,

Rory
