By just trying to be good neighbours, a pop-up beer garden in Winnipeg may have helped some people experiencing homelessness find a place to live.
When they chose to set up at the Granite Curling Club on Granite Way, just west of the Osborne Street bridge the owners of The Beer Can knew they would have to figure out how they were going to approach the encampment behind the club, says co-owner Brad Chute.
