Two weeks since a lawsuit challenging Edmonton's practice of dismantling homeless encampments was scrapped by a judge, nearly 50 encampments around the city have been torn down.
EDMONTON The Red Deer community donated tens of thousands of water bottles to The Mustard Seed to help the area’s most vulnerable navigate through a heat wave. Last week The Mustard Seed was facing an emergency situation. With temperatures reaching close to 40 degrees, the organization did not have enough water bottles to support the individuals living on the street. On June 23, it issued a call to action asking residents in Red Deer and the surrounding area to donate water bottles. The Red Deer Rage Girls Fastball Team made a donation. “We just wanted to do something good for our community and make some people smile,” said Red Deer Rage player Tori McClelland.
