HALIFAX — Volunteer groups have purchased ice-fishing shelters and a military tent to help homeless people brave the cold, wet weather in Halifax, which received its first significant snowfall of the season overnight Sunday.
Stephen Wilsack, who is a volunteer at the encampment across from Halifax City Hall, says he bought 10 tents himself and was reimbursed by "Good Samaritans." Ten other tents were donated, he said in an interview Monday.
"This is necessary at this time because there are unhoused individuals that are literally walking the streets with no shelter," he said in an interview Monday.
"This is by no means a solution. The bigger issue is that there's a housing shortage and this has to be addressed immediately. We have people in encampments all around Nova Scotia."
