In the small, northeastern New Brunswick city of Bathurst, homelessness was not even on the radar a few years ago. Today the city of 15,000 is working on opening a 40-bed homeless shelter.
The quaint southwestern Saskatchewan city of Yorkton recently expanded its new emergency shelter to meet growing demand.
And in the remote British Columbia community of 100 Mile House, the town council just bought a specialized firefighting bush truck, to mitigate the risk of out-of-control blazes from homeless people increasingly setting up camp in the surrounding forest.
