Today we sit fireside with street outreach worker, author, and community facilitator Grant Shilling to discuss solutions to the growing homelessness issues across Canada, using my hometown as an example. Grant is a warm spirit. We get a small snapshot of his childhood in Toronto, a story about smuggling surfboards into Gaza and caught up to his latest work on a small housing project for queer and Indigenous youth. Keep your fire hot!
