The New Brunswick town of St. Stephen has declared a state of emergency over homelessness after a person died in the cold at a park last week.
The town’s municipal council voted unanimously to make the declaration during an emergency council meeting Monday, calling the situation a “public health and safety crisis.”
As Heidi Petracek explains, more people are living in dire conditions, and the province is being blamed.
