Privately donated homeless warming sheds removed by city

SUPPLIED Earlier this year, Urban Knights and Ladies Veterans Ambassador Peace Patrol enlisted a carpentry class at a high school in Stonewall to build a pair of warming huts, to be placed in Winnipeg where they might be of good use to homeless people. On Nov. 29, the two small, wooden huts (which were rudimentary: no insulation or windows) were erected near Disraeli Freeway. But within a few days, they were dismantled without the organization being notified. - Ben Waldman story / Winnipeg Free Press 2019
