Salvation Army's relocation plan tests the city on the future of Vanier

The future of Vanier hinges on a city council vote on an application by the Salvation Army to relocate its emergency shelter and health services from the ByWard Market to Montreal Road.
That’s how opponents of the proposal are characterizing the upcoming decision at Ottawa City Hall.
On the other hand, the Salvation Army believes a purpose-built complex at 333 Montreal Rd. is the only answer to moving its Booth Centre out of the Market and providing a better service to low-income families.
