Pressure Builds On Edmonton's Inner City Streets
EDMONTON, CANADA - APRIL 18: People in need, including those experiencing homelessness and struggling with substance use, are seen along the sidewalk in Edmonton's inner-city area where the 45th Annual Good Friday Outdoor Way of the Cross takes place, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, on April 18, 2025. Homelessness in Edmonton, especially visible in the downtown and inner city, has tripled since 2019, with nearly 5,000 people currently unhoused, over 1,200 of them chronically so. As economic pressures mount, agencies provide around 15,000 meals and snacks daily, while Meals on Wheels delivers up to 500 meals each day. (Photo by Artur Widak/NurPhoto)
