The COVID-19 pandemic drew many people to parks and other outdoor recreational spaces—it also exposed the deep divide between community members who were housed and their unhoused neighbours. Writers @grove_AnnaK and Jesse Upton Crowe explore: https://t.co/0MszCiogDV

How do we get an @OC_Transpo bus down here to serve as a temporary warm spot to stay? Or tiny homes? We have a father and daughter in immediate need, a few single men and a couple of young ladies that need some respite. We have parking. @_MarkSutcliffe

We need more of this. Even some of this in Ottawa.

@9_granny @NCC_CCN And the @NCC_CCN won’t confirm either. Wonder why? 😞

[highjinx @highjinxottawa]

We’ve had 3 senior men’s encampments destroyed today by the @NCC_CCN without notice. All of their belongings were removed and trashed. In this cold. In this struggle. Our Neighbours were there 7 years and now feel so hopeless. Disgusting.
#unhoused #wtf #coldhearted #helpushelp

[highjinx @highjinxottawa]

@9_granny You are welcome to follow up with us directly or move over to our other platforms. This indeed happened, whether the NCC wants to confirm it or not. It’s important to discuss the injustice unhoused Neighbours face daily. #wecandobetter

[highjinx @highjinxottawa]

We have a lengthy update regarding the four residents and Neighbours whom were removed from NCC land last week. Please see it on Facebook or Instagram.

@peggy_blair Thank you for amplifying this for these men.

I was told today a man was found frozen to death in Ottawa this morning. In our nation’s capital, in one of the richest countries in the world, we continue to lose people every year to the winter by denying housing for all in favour of more costly/cruel approaches.
