WINNIPEG — Brady McQueen has been hard at work, preparing for a feast Saturday afternoon.
At noon, 600 hamburgers and hot dogs were on the grill outside of Main Street project, feeding the city’s homeless community.
“I felt like everyone should have a barbecue. No one deserves to not have one. No one deserves to be homeless,” the 10-year-old said Saturday.

Brady McQueen, along with his family, have been collecting coffee and water bottles for about a year now. The 10-year-old wanted to give back to those less fortunate.
His mom Tammy has been helping her son collect items for Saturday’s barbecue.
“It means a lot that they want to do this. All kids seem to think they can change the world and it’s our job as parents to encourage and to help them change the world,” Tammy explained.
