Featured Speakers:
Nadine Green - Site Coordinator at A Better Tent City
Nadine has experienced homelessness; she sees opportunity in adversity and works tirelessly to support those who have fallen through the cracks. Nadine never walks away from a challenge.
For five years, Nadine sheltered and cared for people experiencing homeless in her downtown Kitchener convenience store until she was evicted for doing so in January 2020. She then began to care for the unsheltered folks who could no longer seek shelter in her store with nightly visits to bring them food, tents and blankets.
In April 2020 Ron Doyle invited Nadine to help to establish and live in A Better Tent City. Nadine continues to live on site and manage life at ABTC. She also continues to go out at night to care for hundreds of people in our community who remain unsheltered and has organized and trained a team of volunteers to do this work when she cannot.
Nadine is the site coordinator and jack-of-all-trades at A Better Tent City. She brings people to the site who need shelter, she ushers residents to appointments and has set the general rules and tone for the community. Basically, Nadine manages and supports life at ABTC.
