The City of Lloydminster has denied an application from Lloydminster and Vermilion for Equity to operate the proposed Nitôtêm Resource Centre at 5008-48th Street.
The decision was issued October 28.
City officials cited concerns about public safety, compatibility with the downtown area and compliance with development regulations. The City says the application lacked sufficient details on safety measures, risk management and how concerns from nearby businesses would be addressed.
The proposed centre would have provided meals, showers, laundry, counselling and other support services.
The organization has until November 19 to appeal the decision.
The details are available on the City of Lloydminster website.
