As I read an article about how all the top LDS leaders, as well as most of their spouses, were able to get their first COVID vaccine on Jan. 19, I wondered if divine intervention somehow played a role in them all being able to successfully navigate their county’s first come, first served vaccine sign-up website.

LONDON ONT Just two weeks after the first temporary winter shelter opened its doors to Londoners experiencing homelessness, there are early signs of success. Thirty-two people are now staying inside heated construction trailers converted into modest shelter accommodations in the parking lot of the T-Block building on Elizabeth Street. “This is amazing, because we’d be on the streets, sleeping on the streets, freezing our butts off,” explains 45-year old Tanya, who has been homeless for five years along with her boyfriend. “Before we were in here, we were sleeping on the streets. We’re a couple. London has no accommodations for couples,” she says.

LONDON, ONT. Some neighbours in middle-class homes next to a new homeless shelter in London say they’re noting an uptick in drug use and crime. The concerns were sent by email to CTV News one day after a news story about the success of the shelter. The shelter, comprised of converted construction trailers, is located in the parking lot of the T-Building on Elizabeth Street. Currently, 32 people are housed there. Most of the concerned residents, upset about the shelter, live on McMahen Street. Some bought a property here because the street partially backs onto green space and a city park.
