Duncan city council is supporting an extension for a temporary winter shelter in the community until April 30.
At a meeting Thursday, council confirmed its support for BC Housing’s decision to extend funding to keep the shelter at the former Ramada Inn site open until the end of April. The shelter had been scheduled to close for the season on March 31.
Lookout Housing and Health Society has operated the shelter since it opened in November and confirmed it can continue operations.
