A crowd of around 150 people gathered at St. George s Anglican Church Wednesday to remember Luke Landry. The 35-year-old died last Monday inside a public washroom next to Moncton City Hall.
Kayla Gallie, 21, is among hundreds of people in the Moncton area who are homeless and spending their nights trying to stay warm and survive in a tent. Plans are underway to open a new emergency shelter at the Moncton Lions Community Centre on St. George Street. In the meantime, existing shelters are full.
Mary MacDonald says no one deserves to die the way her youngest son, Luke Anthony Landry, died. He struggled with drugs and was released from jail Monday morning with no winter clothing or shelter. Hours later, he was found dead.
