What is causing homelessness in Kingston? Why are we facing a drug poisoning crisis? What does it mean to be food insecure? How are people responding to unaffordable rents? Division Street is a new YourTV series that probes these questions. But it does so in a different way.
Division Street’s examination of Kingston’s frayed social fabric premieres Monday January 30 at 8pm and continues to early April. It is co-hosted by local Journalist Jamie Swift and Sayyida Jaffer of the Providence Centre.
