Mayor Soraya Martinez Ferrada will unveil a winter warmth initiative on Thursday, aimed at assisting people experiencing homelessness throughout the cold months in Montreal. The announcement comes a day after a fire at a homeless encampment in Montreal North claimed the life of a 50‑year‑old woman.
The plan is intended to provide additional support and resources to those without shelter as winter approaches. Montreal Police were present at the site of the recent fire and are involved in the response to the incident.
