A small home creating a big stir in a St. James neighbourhood is a snapshot of a much larger crisis in the community, according to a Winnipeg advocate for unsheltered people.
A small home creating a big stir in a St. James neighbourhood is a snapshot of a much larger crisis in the community, according to a Winnipeg advocate for unsheltered people.
The building is located on a piece of property just south of the airport in between a park and a community garden.
It’s the kind of setting some may find peaceful and relaxing to live in but the occupants worry they’ll soon be forced out.
The tiny home is tucked in behind trees and the occupants said it’s been in the location for about a month after someone donated it.
It’s unclear exactly who or where the home came from or how it ended up in its present location but some area residents aren’t happy about it.
“And I’d like to see it gone, personally,” said Joseph Williamson, who lives nearby.
He said the home was brought in using a flatbed truck.
