Winnipegger Adam Emes is ready and anxious to roll up his sleeve to get a COVID-19 vaccine.
Until recently, Emes, 45, had been living on the streets, spending the past five years sleeping in camps and bus shelters.
Some of those who are homeless in the city feel like they are invincible, he says, because they are living outdoors. He used to think that way.
WINNIPEG The extreme cold weather is posing a serious safety concern for Winnipeg’s homeless population, homelessness advocates and community services workers said. With -40C winds blowing through the city, finding a warm place to shelter can mean life or death, says Marion Willis, founder and executive director of St. Boniface Street Links, an organization that opened a pop-up warming space on Sunday night. “This is really a life-saving undertaking,” said Willis. “It s very important for this next week or so until this cold snap ends.” The temporary shelter, created in collaboration with Holy Cross Church, will provide a hot meal and a safe space to keep warm until the end of this winter, should there be any other extreme cold snaps.
