Demand Warming Centres!
December 14 @ 5:00 pm
Warming centres are an absolute need. If the city won’t act, we will.
Join us at Minto Park (Elgin St./Lewis St.) on Sunday, December 14th at 5 pm to make our demands loud and clear.
Shelters are at maximum capacity. The City insists that there is room for everyone, and that no one who calls 311 for a place to stay warm will be turned away.
People are being turned away. Even people with a shelter bed are left to wait in the cold for hours – because our city does not have 24 hour warming centres.
It is the city’s responsibility to ensure that nobody dies from homelessness. While they delay and insist existing shelters are enough, we have no choice but to do what we can.
We need your help! We need:
VISIBILITY: Share this and spread the word.SUPPORT: Show up in numbers on December 14th and/or make a cash donationWARMING SUPPLIES: Bring donated blankets, tarps, and sleeping bags to give to people who need them.People are suffering in the freezing cold right now.
We don’t have the luxury of time. A cold weather plan that actually meets the needs of unhoused people in Ottawa must be activated immediately to prevent cold-related deaths and injuries. We cannot stand by while people suffer.
