Kevin Clarke: Man on a Mission

Kevin became homeless in 1998, after his small auto business failed and he's lived on the street, literally, since then.Over the last nine years, Kevin has become one of the most recognized homeless people on Toronto's downtown streets. Kevin is a spreader of the faith that each person is a treasure, worthy of respect, love and housing. He preaches on abuse of authority, the role individuals can play in curbing the path of social decay through acceptance and the importance of homes rather than services that encourage dependency.

Not unlike other homeless people, Kevin has a number of talents and interests.With the robes, the acronyms and, of course, the homelessness, the issue of mental health naturally comes up. He's not been diagnosed, as far as I know, and honestly, I would not say that he either is or was mentally ill. He just has a big personality, is bright and creative and doesn't fit squarely under any heading, including mentally ill or average.

demoTV - Kevin Clarke Debating

demoTV presents Kevin Clarke debating

Kevin Clarke is debating with the other candidates in the February 1st York-South Weston by-election in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.





I still don't understand how people like Kevin survive sleeping outside for years and remain whole. I ask him to tell me in practical terms how he stayed warm and didn't get hurt or die. Although he makes references to the aches and pains he feels "day by day in his bones," likely an outcome of the years of cold and damp, Kevin says that his survival, both physical and emotional, depended on people who interacted with him as a person, offering him food, conversation, supplies and respect.

Kevin Clarke's moment of truth (The Debate)

Kevin Clarke, eccentric independent candidate, is finally allowed to participate in the by-election debate and has his moment after the audience becomes outraged by the police attempt to remove him from the stage and from the democratic political process.

I ask Kevin what he hopes for. He replies more seriously, "I'm a realist but I'm also a dreamer. I would like to see a smile on all the people that I pass by. I would like to see children playing in the parks; I'd like to see more stories in the media about people helping seniors cross the street, young children excelling in their school work and playing sports. I'd like to see homelessness become extinct. I believe homelessness in the city is an issue that has been passed down on the municipality by the federal government."
