Victorians asked to pledge a cold night

,

The Coalition is asking Greater Victoria to take the pledge and turn their heat off for just 24 hours.

Twenty-four hours seems like a long time to go without home heating, but it’s a small inconvenience compared to the experience of people living on the streets through winter. The Coalition to End Homelessness is challenging people to try living in the cold for a day and is hoping the experience will be enlightening.
