The first "youth homelessness count" in Canada starts in Kamloops
How many homeless teenagers do you think live in Kamloops?
The fact is - no one really knows.
That's why, startingon Oct. 13, 2016, Kamloops will kick off a youth homelessness count.
More than 40 local organizations are taking part.
The focus on kids as young as 13 makes this different from the homelessness count that happens every year.
Katherine McParland of Interior Community Services is one of the people organizing the youth count.
