Situated on the far west coast of Canada, on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, Victoria is the capital city of the Province of British Columbia. Its benign climate (the warmest winters in Canada) and placid lifestyle make it a favorite retirement location as well as a popular tourist destination. About 400,000 people live in Victoria and adjacent communities.

I've visited Victoria once, whilst visiting family who live in Vancouver.
Isn't there anything thing that the less fortunate can do , like find a job or ask for help?
It is same in Funabashi.
But there in victoria, I suppose it will be so cold when winter comes.
Are they safe?
And notice how they try to blend in - or maybe we just don't notice?
This is also an issue in Knoxville. Our homeless are the invisible people who, for various reasons in their lives, live in between the cracks of society. many are mentally ill, but are turned away from treatment centers, which I think is outrageous and shameful for one of the most prosperous countries in the world.
Your photos are very poignant.
Dina, there are shelters and some assistance is available but not enough. Also, as knoxville girl says, many of the homeless here are people who have been ejected from institutions into non-existent "community care".
They are easy to ignore and most people simply do ignore them.
It is certainly cold for them here in the winter though Victoria is the warmest place in Canada.
