As temperatures begin to drop and winter settles in if you are homeless, finding a place to stay warm in Northumberland County is not as easy as you think.
In this show, you will learn about the only formal warming centre in the entire county. During the day, there are few, if any, alternatives. A partnership between Transition House and St. Peter’s Anglican Church in Cobourg offers an overnight place for people to stay. You will hear how this partnership came to be and what is going on to help the most vulnerable find shelter in the bitter cold.
Then, you will hear about a study done for the county projecting our population is expected to grow to 122,000 by 2015. That is up from the 90,000 who live here now. Some say it will hit that number much earlier. We will find out what this means for Northumberland.
