Quote:
Calgary Homeless Foundation CEO Tim Richter sat with the campers in St. Patrick's park for about two hours in the morning. He offered immediate outreach and a referral for future permanent housing to the people on the island, provided they vacate the campsite by the city's deadline on Friday.
However, the proposal was rejected by a group of people who travelled to the city from the movement's other location at Olympic Plaza. Most of the protesters from that area said they were not homeless.
They claimed homelessness was a systemic problem, rejected the foundation's housing as a Band-Aid solution, and insisted they had the skills and wherewithal to survive the winter outdoors.
