Thank you for ensuring I know that Aurora councillors Wendy Gaertner, Rachel Gilliland and Ron Weese voted in favour of the Regional Municipality of York Region's proposed 55-bed emergency shelter and transitional housing facility in Aurora.

We need to help people who are in terrible situations and we need to share. I will be sure to vote for these three councillors in the next municipal election. I will look for a different mayoral candidate to support.
