Homeless individuals in Montreal are preparing to endure the winter outdoors as street encampments multiply, prompting three charitable groups to issue warnings and call for swift action on promised aid.
Encampments have been reported on Rue Notre-Dame and other city streets, reflecting a broader rise in makeshift shelters as colder weather approaches.
The charities emphasized that government assistance pledged for the season has not yet been delivered, raising concerns about the ability of people without shelter to survive the upcoming winter.
