'The Swamps' is a homeless camp located in Vancouver, known for its sizable population of individuals facing housing insecurity. Situated in an area considered a safe haven for those without proper shelter, 'The Swamps' has attracted attention due to its unique community dynamics and persistent challenges.

The Impact of the Devastating Fire

On March 9, 2023, tragedy struck 'The Swamps' as a devastating fire consumed a significant portion of the camp.
