More than two dozen people are still living in Halifax's de-designated encampment sites two days after the deadline to vacate passed, the municipality said Wednesday.
Halifax has appointed a new staff person to co-ordinate with volunteers helping the 100 people still sleeping rough in the city, just days from Christmas.
A Halifax councillor says more designated tenting sites are needed in the city as the number of people sleeping rough has more than doubled since last fall.
