In From The Cold

Heres a nice local story.
Anthropology students at the local college have speared
headed an effort started by some local churches who have
been housing the homeless in empty church space at night
here in the cold central alberta winter.
The college students took up the call though and now
pickup some of the other homeless and bring them to the
college gym and with donated bedding and food give them
a warm place to spend a winters night that can drop to 40 or
50 below. They also allow them access to the gym showers
so they can refresh themselves a bit from the grime of
street life. The college has security and the students
I think taking turns supervising.
Nice use of otherwise wasted space and heating.
