The issue of homelessness and the need for shelter in the winter months is being raised by some concerned citizens.
A group of people in connection with Making Poverty History and the Greater Saint John Homelessness Steering Committee will be staying the night in King’s Square beginning at 8 o’clock in order to raise awareness on the issue.
They are also looking to drum up support for the possibility of opening up a temporary shelter on the city’s coldest nights.
The awareness event is part of National Housing Week.
