Demand Warming Centres Phone Zap

With the cold weather hitting Ottawa early this year, concerned residents are raising the alarm about the City’s abandonment of unhoused residents. The city has responded to the freezing temperatures by pointing to their existing policies and claiming it is enough. But these same policies left unhoused neighbours to die in the cold earlier this year. And with renovictions, and austere social policies, we see unhoused neighbours freezing in the streets.

Join Horizon, the Disability Justice Network of Ontario, and the What’s the Winter Plan team for a virtual phone zap session where we will get together online, go over the details of what our city is lacking, and then spend some time calling the offices of City Councillors to make sure they hear our concerns.
