City’s homeless have places to go to keep warm during frigid temperatures
MEDICINE HAT, AB — The plummeting temperatures this week have many people thankful for the warmth of their homes.
But there are several in this city who don’t have this same luxury.
Chance Janzen goes to the Champion’s Centre every day. He said he’s been really struggling ever since his mom passed away.
“Right now I’m homeless, and I’m staying with a friend right now. I might go to the shelter tonight, but who knows,” he said.
On days where it’s bitterly cold he said he’s grateful to have somewhere to go to get warm.
“I walk all the way down here in the cold to come down here and have something to eat.” said Janzen.
