Quarantine hotels across Canada are still costing taxpayers several million each month, most with low occupancy rates.
The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) confirmed the federal government has procured 36 hotels since March of 2020 as quarantine facilities across the country. “The [PHAC] has also access to two additional provincial isolation sites,”
Those cities include Vancouver, Kelowna, Whitehorse, Calgary, Edmonton, Regina, Winnipeg, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec City, Fredericton, Halifax, and St-John’s.
I don’t know if Canada has a homeless problem anywhere near that in the US but if you do, wouldn’t it make sense to use these facilities for that while you wait for possible Covid cases?
