'Overburdened' Hamilton drop-in centre for homeless ordered to pay for years-old graffiti, director says
The Hub's executive director Jennifer Bonner says she found the order taped to the front door on Vine Street Wednesday, despite the graffiti having been there for years and with no prior warning from bylaw. 'We're understaffed, overburdened, but we're worried about graffiti on a building that serves 150 meals a night?'
