Shelter shut down
The homeless shelter that BC Housing has been operating and paying for in the Desert Inn at 2350 vote Street in Merritt is now permanently closed.
Opened as a temporary measure for Covid-19. It became an ongoing resource to the community that was experiencing homelessness.
According to BC Housing and the Nicola Valley shelter and support society, as of August 30, 2024 is closed .The Desert inn was aging and becoming unsafe for shelter services. Due to this, a shelter capacity was continuously reduced and the shelter offered 36 spaces. At the time of closure, seven people remained at the desert inn. All seven have been temporarily housed and been safely relocated in Merritt.
BC Housing has leased the Knights inn at 2702 Nicola avenue in Merritt. This will be purposeod as a year-round shelter with up to 40 beds and they will operate the nights in shelter and provide services to guests. The building requires some renovations and they are currently expecting the shelter to open late 2024.
The tents that have developed about the riverbank near the former shelter. Are to go.
We have it from a source and that the bylaw officer has asked them to move and they expected to do this Wednesday, September 4th and that there will be no more tents and camping by homeless people near the lawn bowling court or the Nicola River Bridge and It’s ajoining Park .

Remember, these outcomes are not guaranteed in every situation, but sensitivity and empathy can greatly improve the quality of interactions and relationships.
So, so this Labour Day weekend in Merritt, British Columbia is moderately warm, hot and calm with a coolness of evaporation of water felt on your skin in most places.
To enjoy these moments we took a walk about a half a block down Garcia Street to the Nicola River and we were delighted to see flocks of wood ducks coming down the river and, lo and behold. This fella shows up in a kayak who had been obviously driving ducks down the river, Both him and another both were delighted with The 8-hour 25 km paddle from the dam at Nicola lake to the bridge on Voght Street in Merritt.
Although the Federal government can only call it indigenous summer the term is understood and well into October some years the term is realized in warm to hot daytime and cool evenings and nights. We look forward to its presence in our city at 600 m above sea level in the South Central interior of British Columbia, Canada. We hope that you enjoy similar pleasant weather wherever you may be at this time.
