The housing crisis has sent countless people into the streets. In spring 2022, some of them found their way to the yard beside the Anglican church in Toronto's Kensington Market, where Maggie Helwig is the priest. Known as an outspoken social justice activist, Helwig has spent the last three years getting to know the residents and fighting tooth and nail to allow them to stay. 'Encampment' tells the story of Helwigs lifelong activism as preparation for her fight to keep her churchyard open to people needing a home. Helwig lives in Toronto, ON.
