This pandemic has made it worse, Seivwright starts off, facing the camera directly. With winter approaching, I knew that without shelter people would die, as they do in Toronto every year. I started building tiny shelters so that some of the most vulnerable could have somewhere warm to go. This is only a distraction. The problem is not the tiny shelters, the problem is that Toronto s most vulnerable people are falling through the cracks.

The City of Toronto has been trying to stop local carpenter Khaleel Seivwright from building and placing his tiny, insulated homeless shelters in public parks since he first began building them in November.
And despite tens of thousands of residents calling for the structures to be allowed during a particularly difficult winter for those expericing homelessness in Toronto, it seems the city has decided to officially take legal action against Seivwright to prevent him from placing any more of his shelters on city-owned land.
