Edmonton's largest homeless camp is still operating but cold weather is taking a toll on those who live there.

The CISN Country team will be camping out at Commonwealth in support of Hope Mission.

'The Hope Mission outbreak changes absolutely everything we've negotiated,' said a representative from the Peace Camp in Old Strathcona on Wednesday.

The Herb Jamieson Centre shut down on Dec. 31, 2019 and will soon be demolished to make way for a new shelter. It's scheduled to open in the fall of 2021.

As Edmonton homeless encampments are being removed, questions are being raised about what happens next.

Yards for Hope raises funds and awareness for Hope Mission, an inner-city shelter that provides meals, a warm place to sleep and other essential services for the Edmonton's homeless community.

An annual fundraiser for the Hope Mission which was supposed to take place outdoors was brought indoors Saturday because of the cold.

Being home for the holidays isn't a reality for everyone.

The owner of an Edmonton gym encouraged patrons to fill backpacks with items essential for winter survival and deliver them to the Hope Mission Sunday.

The CISN Country's Yards for Hope campaign raised $173,000 by Thursday morning.
