Chris recently moved to Vancouver from Montreal where he lived for many years. He used to work in restaurants in Montreal and thought it would be better here, so he hitchhiked across Canada, and now he is sleeping on the street. He doesn’t drink any more and hopes to get back to Montreal and find work again.

Advice to young people thinking of a life on the street:

“Don’t be living on the street, get a job and stay working.”
