Footage of two trucks transporting a tiny, insulated shelter into a City of Toronto Parks, Forestry and Recreation facility is sparking concern among locals who fear that someone is now out in the cold without a place to sleep.
Filmed around 10:40 a.m. near Lake Shore Boulevard and Carlaw Avenue on Dec. 9, the clip in question and shows a white pick-up truck carrying a small shelter into the city's Booth Yard.
The person filming attempts to follow the shelter into the Parks and Recreation base, but is immediately stopped by a worker who informs the cameraperson that they're not welcome.
