For months, volunteers have been helping collect and distribute food and water to people living in tents in Meagher Park in Halifax. Over the past few weeks, Halifax Regional Police have come in to dismantle platforms that were being constructed for a food tent for the site. And Laura Patterson has been documenting a lot of the happenings on her twitter account. She says they've been working to help when it appears the politicians are not helping and in fact, they are making it worse. Some advocates are wondering what will happen for the homeless when the HRM warming centre closes down at the end of March. And Patterson says you can expect to see more people moving back to living in tents in Halifax when the weather improves.
