the shitty City of Toronto awarded the Reverend Maggie Helwig the Toronto Book Award for her book "Encampment: Resistance, Grace and an Unhoused Community" about an encampment at St. Stephen-In-The-Fields Church, in Toronto’s Kensington Square neighborhood. Then, less than 24 hours later, City workers under police protection violently tore it down, evicting its residents onto the streets 🀬

Helwig plans to donate most of the $20,000 prize money to the church, so it can continue serving its communities well. Speaking on CBC Radio One's Metro Morning show, she said she might spend the rest on a trip with her kiddo who has seen less of her recently than she would have liked because of work. πŸ’ž
