Update – Sign of the Times in Cobourg

In News

The Warming Hub, Transition House are available, there is the encampment in Cobourg’s east end, but still people sleep in the kiosks of banks and even on cardboard boxes at The Blue Box.

(Editors note: After checking with Transition House there were four beds available along with The Warming Hub)
