Winnipeg wants encampments to move. Will it work?

from This is Manitoba

Next week, a new bylaw goes into effect in Winnipeg that restricts where people can set up encampments. The tent cities have become more common in recent years as the number of people experiencing homelessness has surged.  We hear from CBC’s Cameron MacLean, who spoke to people living in the camps, nearby neighbours and city officials to find out what these new rules could mean. Community reporter Jim Agapito checks in with Osborne Village residents about what they think of the new plan. Shauna MacKinnon, professor and chair in the department of urban and inner-city studies at the University of Winnipeg and a member of Manitoba's Right to Housing coalition, weighs in on why the plan is flawed and reflects the growing pressure on governments to deliver on promises that are difficult to keep.
