Cameron, Bonny L. (Author). Angels of the Road (Electronic resource) (Added Author). Canadian Electronic Library (Firm) (Added Author).

Summary: This observer/participant study involved almost two years of information gathering which was done from May 2009 - October 2011. The study took place in 15 cities throughout Canada, except (due to accessibility and funding issues) the far north. Over that period of time I lived in 12 shelters with capacities ranging from 8 - 300 occupants. Attended programs offered to the homeless through 15 drop-in centres and accessed 24 meal programs. The study involved total immersion with the subject population. Stays varied from 3 weeks to 4 months depending on the size of the homeless population with whom I was assimilating.
