The need
For those experiencing homelessness in Thunder Bay, access to drinking water is not guaranteed. Unlike many of us who can simply turn on a tap, people without permanent housing may need to search for refill stations or depend on donations.
The risks
It is estimated that more than 200 people in Thunder Bay are living outdoors. Water is essential to health, dignity, and survival. In summer, this need becomes critical. Rising temperatures and increased humidity dramatically elevate the risk of dehydration, heat exhaustion, and even death.
