The downtown core in Edmonton will have an improved facility for an essential range of programs and services after a combined investment of more than $45 million from the federal government and the Boyle Street Community Services.

Announced by Minister Randy Boissonnault and Jordan Reiniger, executive director, Boyle Street Community Services, this new building space will be better suited to providing health and community supports for those experiencing homelessness and poverty in the growing downtown region of Edmonton.

“Through this major investment in the new okimaw peyesew kamik (King Thunderbird Centre) in Edmonton, the federal government is delivering for downtown Edmonton. Ensuring the important work of Boyle Street Community Services can continue in one centralized location that provides a reliable and safe space for the community will make our downtown a safer, more vibrant place to work and live. This world-class facility is being built to better accommodate the unique needs of a vulnerable population and will provide dignified support to those who need it most in our city,” said Boissonnault, Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Official Languages.
