A non-profit group working with homeless people says residents of an encampment where a tent was set on fire this week are fearful but have returned to the site.
The community living at the tent encampment at Halifax's Grand Parade is reeling after a recent death, and advocates say the situation will only worsen.
Volunteers providing assistance to those living in a Lower Sackville ballfield have helped raise enough funds to purchase a military tent and wood stove for the area.
Monday's fierce wind and rain storm took residents of Grand Parade's tent encampment in Halifax by surprise, and destroyed nearly a third of the structures.
