Episode Synopsis

Halifax Regional Municipality issued a statement today on the plan to remove temporary shelters from Municipal property in a weeks time. These crisis shelters were erected by a group of volunteers known as Halifax Mutual Aid (HMA). When the first ones went up, the group said it was taking action because the municipality was taking too long. First I spoke with spokesperson Campbell McClintock, a volunteer with HMA. I then spoke with HRM spokesperson Laura Wright about why they are taking this action now.
