About this listen
As the housing crisis persists throughout Ontario and across Canada, more and more municipalities are struggling with how to manage vulnerable residents in need of support.
In Barrie, the mayor declared a state of emergency, so the city could more aggressively move to take apart encampments. But in Kitchener, a recent court decision concerning a longstanding encampment blocked the forcible removal of its residents, at least for now.
On this episode of Sources, Ontario reporter Eric Wickham speaks to Ashley Schuitema, executive director and lawyer at Waterloo Region Community Legal Services, about the unfolding situation in Kitchener and beyond.
