Mayor Deb Kozak and Council
City of Nelson
Suite 101 310 Ward Street
Nelson BC V1L 5S4
Dear Mayor Kozak;
The Nelson and District Chamber of Commerce welcomes the
opportunity to provide member
input as Council reviews the implementation of a Pan Handling
By-Law.
The discussions of a bylaw have generated tremendous interest
throughout the community,
with widely diverse opinions.
This summer, the Chamber Board of Directors adopted a resolution
in favour of adopting an
aggressive pan handling bylaw that would regulate behaviour and
also where the panhandling
could take place, but not make it illegal.
There is an understanding that for some, pan handling is a way
of life and an unfortunate
circumstance of life. There is also a realization that for some
Nelson residents and business
owners, the location of where the panhandling occurs can be
problematic to their business, or
to their individual or family comfort level of shopping
downtown.
In addition to the support from the Board of Directors, the
Chamber of Commerce also
conducted a survey of downtown member businesses. While the
sample size was not large,
81% of the 22 respondents were clearly in favour of moving
forward with the development of a
pan handling bylaw.
If the City of Nelson chooses to proceed with the implementation
of an aggressive panhandling
by-law, the Chamber would encourage a best practices approach to
the bylaw language and
enforcement.
Sincerely
Ed Olthof President Nelson and District Chamber of Commerce

From Margaret Stacey
NBA, representing Nelson United Church, Stacey-Trillo, and
merchants who have spoken to me about the issue.
To Nelson City Council regarding the proposed Panhandling Bylaw
changes:
I understand the human rights restrictions that you have taken
care to address in the Bylaw pre-amble, and the small changes you
would like to add to the officer toolbox to curb aggression and
loitering, in an attempt to appease merchants who are affected by
difficult panhandlers.
From our church perspective: its all you can do to manage the
issue legally. Its like conventional medicines symptom suppression,
without addressing the functional cause.
Words from businesses: One merchant says the panhandlers are
about 80% young men, some with mental health issues, and another
says its seasonal, surrounding Shambhala for example. Another
merchant says there should be zero tolerance of panhandlers, and
from watching them daily, says the money is not used for food or
transport, but goes to drugs. Some say they should be as regulated
as much as buskers. Several recommend street workers or housing or
social assistance or addictions services.
On a personal note: Many tend to perceive transients, buskers
and panhandlers as something this town doesnt need, when in fact,
if they arent our own people, they are actually an alternate kind
of tourist and they come here because of the amenities, like all
tourists. They avoid cold, barren, uninteresting and unwelcoming
places, and come here for the ambience too. Furthermore, there is a
feeling that we are specially targeted and swamped, when, in fact,
when you look at Vancouver, that city absorbs our young people for
better or worse. I would hope somebody there treats them
kindly.
And finally; I approve of the bylaw as a reasonable tool.
However I do take issue with 3.1.b which states: A person who
permits, suffers, allows any act or thing to be done in
contravention of this bylaw commits an offence... In other words,
if my business permitted, suffered, allowed a panhandler to stay
longer than an hour or get closer to my door, I as business owner,
am offending!
Margaret Stacey
I dont think we need a pan handling by law. I think it is
unfortunate the city is considering going this way.
I have never had trouble with the people begging for money. I am
on Baker street daily 2/3 times. I politely say no or ignore them
depending on my mood. The only aggressive one that I have
experienced is a drug addicted woman and a bylaw wouldnt deter
her.
Assuming these people are the product of a lack of housing or,
social assistance or addictions services then lets deal with that
and not punish and criminalize the victims. Perhaps another street
worker?
If they are recreational beggars they will go away with the
cooler weather.
Why must we react in a punitive way?. Lets try to find the root
of the problem and put city resources there. Has anyone interviewed
any of these people to find out what is going on in their lives to
put them on the street begging? Maybe thats a first step.

Is there room for all of us?Will another bylaw make Nelson
better and more attractive to the rich elite?I'm no more
comfortable to be approached for handouts than the next
person,,,but do I want to make them illegal ?There is an attitude
of Cleansing going on with the city council . It seems that if they
can get the city to look cleaner then bussiness and others of
wealth will look on nelson as a place to invest and control.The
whole Hall street Money Pit was not about making things better for
everyone. It seems that only a few affected the decisions to spend
tax moneyin such a way. This is not a bylaw issue but the money
spent could have contributed to the betterment of more who need it
,,,not just the few business people who sway the council. That
Money could have been put towards the issue at hand, i.e.: people
with nothing and no hope. Cities all over N America have this same
issue: beggars Can the City of Nelson be separate from the pack and
lead to the future on this issue? There is opportunity here to set
a standard of how to manage these issues. Can Nelson leadership
rise to the level and set a standard in Canada of how all humans
have worth and have a place in our community?The Stores to Shores
idea spent very much money and still left out many in the community
, such as all the handicap people on wheelchairs or that have
trouble climbing steep grades. That Stores to shores idea just like
the bylaw to make begging illegal does not include the whole
community.Have you thought that maybe for some ,, the chance to
tithe on the street is redeeming and helping for some that have
hard times?I am against this Cleansing that the council is a part
of!!!
Al GerhardsteinBusiness ownerMisty Mountain358 bakernelson
Hi Margaret,
I cannot attend the meeting re Panhandling so just am offering
my input in this email.
I have had direct personal experience with an aggressive and
belligerent panhandler using offensive signage. Asking nicely for
him to move or offering assistance was not effective. Police nor
Bylaw could get him to cooperate and this went on for more than
just one day. Customers were complaining about him and actively
avoiding walking by him (and as he was parked right under my window
this directly affected my business).
I take offence to the councillor who stated that they had never
seen an aggressive panhandler only passerbys being rude. This
councillor obviously does not spend a lot of time on Baker St. and
is out of touch with the issues businesses have with various
transient and what some might call street people.
We put more restrictions on our buskers who bring character and
charm to downtown, than we do those that are panhandling. My
suggestion to city council would be to have a bylaw that restricts
the time that a panhandler can stay in one spot. We do this for
buskers, so why not panhandlers. This would offer police and bylaw
something they could actually enforce without walking on the right
of all Nelson citizens and visitors to enjoy our streets.
Thank you.
Diane Hand
Handsels

Thanks for running with this. We have a store at 327 Baker and
have fairly frequent dealings with Panhandlers / Street people who
like to hang out in the Masonic doorway and sometimes in front of
Subway.
Our take on the situation is that we have relatively few
problems with Panhandlers / Street people and those problems tend
to be seasonal such as before Shambala for example. When we do have
problems the Bylaw Officers and the Police seem to be able to
effectively deal with the situation. If the police feel they need
more powers to be able to more effectively deal with the situation
in Nelson then we are in favor of supporting our Bylaw and Police
force.
On a slightly deeper level of analysis there are longer term
solutions needed for the issue of panhandling and street people.
Our mental health care, for example, is very inadequate and leaves
a lot of work for people like our Bylaw and Police force who
probably shouldnt be on the front line dealing with mental health
problems. Its a very costly and, unfortunately, not very effective
way to handle mental health problems in our, and other,
communities.

Coordinating - Pan Handler Bylaw FeedbackDate: October-19-15
12:52:52 PM
Most importantly, thank you for this opportunity to provide
feedback. The Seniors Coordinating Board does not see the issue of
inappropriate or aggressive panhandlers being a Seniors issue. It
affects us in the same way it affects everyone else.However as a
generalization Seniors react more passively, defensively and are
less likely toconfront. We simply will move away or avoid. So the
negative effects are business losecustomers, and sidewalks and
known pan handler areas (sidewalks) are avoided. Members did
identify pan handers near cash machines when people and/or seniors
gettingmoney, also pan handlers in near door ways, grocery stores,
etc. when people are going inor out. We are not clear on how a
bylaw will change\improve a situation. Specific problemscome down
to various locations and specific individuals. The issue requires
clear policycommunication from the City and appropriate judgement
by the Bylaw officers. Generallywe do not see pan handling as a
priority issue at this time. Brad HowardChair, Nelson and District
