If the city’s response to our houseless neighbours requiring shelter in the cold of winter, is to shutter the c-train stations (Erlton to Anderson) for all instead of ensuring there is 2 outreach workers per station to aid in referrals and connecting– what is going to happen in the heat and smoke of summer, when there are less options than having warming centres opened in various communities via religious buildings and empty retail? It does look like the early 2000’s crisis again, with less compassion.
