Seasonal weather shelters late and inadequate, say advocatesPhoto via North Park Neighbourhood Association on Twitter. This is bad news for members of Victoria’s unhoused community already dealing with soaked tents and lack of shelter space. GVCEH acknowledges that the province’s extreme weather response shelter is not prepared to deal with the impacts of climate change expected to hit Victoria over the coming years. Many of Victoria’s unhoused, however, remain outdoors where they are exposed to the elements. Consistent wet weather can force people living outdoors to dispose of the little clothing and supplies they have.
