PETERS: TRU, City of Kamloops, students all look bad in housing flap
NO ONE REALLY LOOKS GOOD in the mess with Thompson Rivers University student housing right now — not TRU and not the City of Kamloops.
TRU was surprised by the number of unhoused students who showed up this fall and thus, the school is trying to find a solution for them.
It has proposed temporary modular housing be put up in one of its parking lots – not dissimilar to housing used in work camps in northern Alberta and, in fact, in many places in B.C., too.
