Silver

Silver at Yonge and Dundas streets.

Whispering Ghost with Wings of Silver aka Silver at Yonge and Dundas next to Sankofa Square. He is originally a member of Wiikwemikong First Nation’s the Bear Clan of Manitoulin Island, Ontario. Silver is forty-three years old and says he has been homeless since he was 14. He says he doesn’t do drugs but drinks a lot. He told me that at night the area is full of people bent over with the “fenty fold”, a phenomenon experienced by fentanyl users, and other illicit drugs like xylazine. Those exhibiting the fold are slumped over at the waist, knees bent, unable to respond for minutes or even hours at a time.
