About Me
Where our Federal and Provincial aids hold gaps, we must persist.  Where our local government needs time to change, we must loudly be patient. Loudly, so they feel our support for change. Loudly so they may know our desires and evolve towards them.
​
​Because we do evolve, and in this moment, I'm thinking, we are.
​Our world and lives are all in their own variants of chaos. So let's come together on the smaller levels to assure each others care. With innovation, transparency & willingness there is a beautiful way through this all.

Pillar 1: Decentre Policing and Enforcement

By Regan Sunshine Brussé and Laura Pin
This pillar emphasizes that homelessness should be addressed as a social and systemic issue rather than a criminal one. 

Practices such as forced removals from encampment sites, routine surveillance by authorities, and the issuance of citations or tickets contribute to the criminalization of homelessness. These actions can disrupt people's lives and increase physical, emotional, and psychological harm.

​Precariously Unsheltered
​Witnessing​ the eviction cycle in waterloo region

This space provides compiled information, bearing witness to local unsheltered evictions, many of which I’ve personally observed over time.
​
The events listed here do not offer a full picture of how frequently this is happening, reflecting only those I was aware of or for which I found information available.

These types of evictions continue to happen despite people having no meaningful alternatives within which to find relief.
