I think the isolation of many rural and remote communities is an important consideration, especially when a lot of the communities cannot be accessed unless you fly in or travel in by boat when the water's open. There needs to be some kind of consideration for shelter services for those kinds of communities.
I know that a group called the Rural Development Network in Alberta is working on these kinds of things. They've been very progressive, with sort of grassroots thinking about consulting with people regarding what they need in terms of shelters, second-stage homes and transition homes. I think that's very useful. Connection with them would be very valuable, I think.
Yes, those in remote areas need to have shelters and services as well.
