"A groundbreaking film on the
homeless" -- Vancouver Sun
In the picture-postcard community of North Vancouver, filmmaker Murray Siple
follows men who have turned bottle-picking, their primary source of income, into
the extreme sport of shopping cart racing.
Enduring hardships from everyday life on the streets of Vancouver, this
sub-culture depicts street life as much more than stereotypes portrayed in
mainstream media. The films takes a deep look into the lives of the men who race
carts, the adversity they face, and the appeal of cart racing despite the risk.

2010 Homeless champions
& the servants of hope society
feed the homeless at christmas in pigeon park
40 recovering addicts formerly from the Downtown Eastside are organized by 2010 Homeless Champions and the Servants of Hope Society and feed more than 400 homeless and drug addicted people an incredible Christmas Dinner. 2010 Homeless Champions regularly provides this type of outreach to individuals and are making a difference and in some cases through our example we are motivating some addicts to embrace the same principles that we have used to change our lives.
Homelessness is the condition and social category of people who lack housing, because they cannot afford, or are otherwise unable to maintain, regular, safe, and adequate shelter. The term "homelessness" may also include people whose primary nighttime residence is in a homeless shelter, in an institution that provides a temporary residence for individuals intended to be institutionalized, or in a public or private place not designed for use as a regular sleeping accommodation for human beings..........
A very small number of people choose to be homeless
