To my Homeless Nation crew,

Today is the last day of my contract as an Outreach Worker in Montreal. I just wanted to let everyone know that I have learned a tremendous amount from all of you. I am honored that you shared your stories with me, and each one taught me valuable lessons, and allowed me a glimpse of your unique insights and experiences. I will still check the site regularly, and contribute whenever possible. I know Anya will keep things going strong on the Montreal end of things after I am gone.

Thanks again for everything, and keep don't ever give up the fight!

The city is gearing up for another freezing night by declaring an extreme cold weather alert, with temperatures expected to plummet below -25 degrees Celsius.

David Rodgers, a senior meteorologist with Environment Canada, said this evening that the mercury will dip down to -20 degrees by late tonight and could hit -29 degrees with the wind chill.

"It'll be a pretty chilly morning," Rodgers said.

To prepare for the icy blast, the city has opened an additional 80 beds at homeless shelters to get people off the streets.

Salut la gang!

Va checker la liste des resources du Quebec! J'ai mis une nouvelle liste des numéros d'aide, pis une liste des maisons d'hébergement longue ou courte-termes. Aussi j'ai ajoutée des nouveaux auberges de nuit pour hommes ou femmes. Merci!

Hey everyone,

Go check out the Quebec section of our resources list! I created a list of Montreal hotlines, a list of available long and short-term housing, and added several more shelters for men and women.
Hope it helps!
