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

Sean Horrell and his team at 519Pursuit deliver hot meals and supplies five days a week to homeless people in London , Ontario .

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.

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