More camp cities are growing up

A QMI journalist set up his tent at one of the camps in Hochelaga and found an organized and hospitable group. CTV reports on one reason we’re seeing this trend right now: homeless shelters can’t accept as many people as usual because of distancing, and people are cautious about going indoors for the same reason. There’s a certain restraint from the authorities because they know the encampments can’t last into winter.

Update: 24 Heures has a photo essay on the camp visited by their journalist.
