Kelowna’s tent city garners national attention after Poilievre tweet
Heather Friesen, an advocate for vulnerable people in Kelowna, spends most days helping those experiencing homelessness in the city.
Kelowna has been under the leadership of Conservative Member of Parliament for Kelowna-Lake Country Tracy Gray, since 2019. “We see more homeless encampments which create safety issues for the greater community with potential fires and crime and are unsafe for those living there where criminals prey on the most vulnerable.”
He said that the toxic drug crisis and high rent are two of the primary drivers behind the increase in people experiencing homelessness in the Okanagan.
