Controversy
has been swirling around the release of three sex offenders into the
community in recent months, an issue that hasn't been lost on council.
They voted to begin work that would result in them getting a heads up in the future.
Deputy
Mayor Shelley Rinehart says the city is very vulnerable right now, and
answers are needed to understand how the numbers of sex offenders are
distributed across Canada, the reasoning behind the decision to release
those individuals into particular communities and whether or not the
context is taken into account.
They'll
also be setting up a meeting with various officials to talk about the
best way to resolve the problem in a way that protects the interests and
safety of the community.
