Published by BriefDash · · Toronto
British Columbia’s November 10 housing bulletin reports 6,588 shelter spaces across 63 communities as of November 1. The total includes year-round shelters, temporary winter sites and spaces activated during extreme weather. Some 700 spaces operate only when a community issues an extreme-weather alert. The province advises people seeking a bed to contact local shelters for availability.
