Original Toronto Star caption: Bundled up against the cold of a January morning; one of Toronto's homeless tries to find some warmth early today sleeping on a ventilation grate outside the old stock exchange on Bay St. The temperature wasn't as low as it has been recently; but this man and others forced to sleep on Metro's streets face some nights with plunging temperatures.
