SAINT JOHN, N.B. --
Winter seems to have unofficially arrived in the Maritimes, with double-digits below wind chills across the region.
Also arriving is the cold reality of heading into the frigid season while still in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic -- a combination even more complicated for those without a permanent place to live.
Saint John’s Outflow Ministry Inc. has been operating its men’s shelter 24-hours-a-day since March -- a change prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic to give those living rough a place to go during the day.
But with winter well on its way, the shelter, like many, is heading into some uncharted territory.
