Last summer I wrote about the Salvation Army shelter project to see if it was affecting the property values in a 600-meter radius of the proposed Salvation Army shelter site at 333 Montreal Road.

What I had found is that announcement of the Salvation Army shelter for the 333 Montreal Road site did not affect the value of neighbouring properties or the number of properties that were sold in the vicinity of the proposed shelter.

In June of 2017 the Salvation Army announced plans to move their Lower Town / ByWarm Market homeless shelter to the Vanier area. A new modern shelter is planned for the land at 333 Montreal Road at the corner of Granville Street. The new shelter will be able to house a larger amount of people with their planned 350 beds.

Many residents and business owners have protested the new shelter and have formed SOS Vanier which have a Twitter account.
