For years, people on the streets have told the social agency they'd like to see beds available, even for a few hours during the day. "They've said, 'You're exhausted, you're hopeless when you're wandering through the streets'," Padanyi said. There are 50 shelter beds on the main floor of the Hope Mission main building, and 50 more in another area of the building. Fifty more of the Hope Mission's day beds are in nearby trailers that will open on Wednesday. The Hope Mission will officially unveil the new day beds at a grand opening Wednesday afternoon, with municipal and provincial politicians on hand.
