Outreach workers say Ontario encampments are necessary’ amid lack of shelter spaces.

Many Ontarians are divided over how the issue should be handled amid ongoing housing, addictions and mental-health crises.

The Canadian Alliance to End Homelessness has called the pending legislation “ineffective, costly and cruel”.

In Canada ’s most populous city, there are around 450 tents across more than 100 parks.

Toronto Deputy Mayor Amber Morley said any efforts aimed at preventing the growth of encampments in public spaces are welcomed, but expressed concerns about the proposed provincial legislation.

She said pushing people out of their tents before providing them shelters will not resolve the problem.
