How Can We Help Montreal’s Homeless Population Beat The Heat?
Officials at one homeless shelter in Montreal are asking the public for help.
According to Neila Ben Ayed, director of women’s services at the Old Brewery Mission’s Patricia McKenzie Pavillion, shelters are in great need of donations.
“Especially now,” she told Global News. “It’s bottles of water — it’s very hard to get them — and hygiene products.”
She and others point out that people experiencing homelessness are among the most vulnerable during the current heat wave.
The city is under a heat warning for the whole week with temperatures hovering in the low 30s, and with the humidity, it will feel like 40 C.
