With much of Canada in the midst of a deep freeze, Winnipeg’s homeless population is getting some much-needed protection from the elements in the form of coats that double as sleeping bags.
The Community Homeless Assistance Team in downtown Winnipeg, which connects the city’s homeless to permanent housing, offers addictions support and helps them find jobs, recently received 200 of the jackets as a donation and began distributing them to the city’s homeless.
“They love them,” Christy Loudon, the organization’s outreach co-ordinator, told CTV News Channel on Thursday.
