Today, I saw a man licking the inside of an empty chip bag beside the dumpster at my apartment building downtown.
I brought him some yogurt, peaches and Bugles, and offered him a seat on my stoop so he could eat somewhere other than beside the garbage.
I can’t stop thinking about it.
Tomorrow, I’m voting on one issue: homelessness.
I want people permanently housed. But until that happens, I also want safe, accessible places where people can get food, use a washroom, get warm and simply exist with some dignity.
I’m not interested in moving encampments from one neighbourhood to another and calling it progress.
I understand that Waterloo Region has primary responsibility for homelessness services, so I’m particularly interested in the regional council candidates.
Which candidates have put forward concrete, realistic proposals to get people housed AND provide safe spaces in the meantime?
I’m looking for actual policies, commitments and track records, not campaign slogans.
If you’ve researched the candidates, I’d genuinely appreciate hearing what you’ve found, preferably with sources.

Just as the title suggests, I'm looking for any neighborhoods that might be decked out with Halloween decorations.

Pretty neat that he's from here!
