I still see quite a few homeless people wandering around the DTES late at night in the snow.

Hi Frances and Judy,

Thanks for this. I have to say that there are MANY homeless people outside the traditional areas. I saw many on Broadway near Main St. and many near Broadway and Baywater in Kitsilano. If I weren’t in Calgary I would help, but I am away. I’ll get on it when I get back close to dec 30th.

Hopefully the emergency shelters allowing shopping carts etc. will get opened sooner rather than later. The events of very early this morning are a very sad reminder of the consequences of this going ignored.

all politics aside, applause for the new city team and staff for making these quick and drastic improvements… anyone getting the thumbs-up from Judy Graves is doing something very right.

Let me know the next night you are going out, I’d like to be of help.

This is a very encouraging post.It has been to long in this city that we let people….PEOPLE….sleep on the streets.

I just might cry. As someone who has a gorgeous little condo in the area, and who has seen too, too many people huddled under tarps and soggy blankets in grim weather, I’ll sleep better myself tonight having read this.
