The population of unhoused individuals across HRM has seen a rapid increase over the past five years, with tents popping up around the city.
On a Friday afternoon, Wade Tanner is sitting in his downtown Halifax, N.S. tent while sorting through his various pill bottles as he readies to take his daily medication.
“Water shortage for one, the rats, the drugs, that’s about it around here,” he describes an average night. “It’s drug haven at night, you get all the druggies from all over the city here in the tent city. Running up and down here all night long, you can hardly get any sleep here.”
