MONTREAL A shelter’s decision to lay off 11 workers last week came as a shock, and now the workers and clients are regrouping to voice concerns, including in a demonstration Wednesday. Richard Laire is one client at Accueil Bonneau, which is running a temporary COVID-19 “warming centre” in the Old Port, in a big tent. He said that after the layoff of 11 front-line workers, the tent is staffed only by security guards. “Sometimes we just need a shoulder to cry on, but they’re not there for that,” said Laire on Wednesday, meaning the security guards. One of those who used to give him emotional support was Mathilde Laforge, one of those who was laid off.
