Homeless Should Win "Coldest Canadian Contest"

The Fredericton Anti-Poverty Organization is using an online contest by an airline to raise awareness of the challenges the homeless face during the winter.

Air New Zealand is looking for submissions from the "Coldest Canadian" with the winner getting a free trip to New Zealand.

Coordinator of the Fredericton Anti-Poverty Organization Dan Weston tells CHSJ News he wants a video to be submitted on behalf of the homeless because they face the challenge of being cold on a daily basis.

He says being warm in a cold country should be a right and not a privilege.
