Homelessness

What can you do on a Sunday afternoon with 7 Hotties in cool t-shirts, pajama bottoms, and a shining silver wig at the Aurora Sports Dome?  Tackle exciting challenges that both raise awareness and raise money to tackle homelessness in York Region, of course!

The Challenge

How can we continue to ensure that our work is informed by the voices and experiences of people with lived experience and how can these voices help raise awareness of homelessness in York Region? One opportunity emerged in 2007 during a conversation about why people seem to believe that homelessness doesn’t exist here. Gafri – one of the first individuals involved in this project said “give me a camera and I’ll show them”.
