Ben Fredricks gets a haircut from volunteer Juhli Khemaroth at Project Homeless Connect.
Ben Fredricks sauntered into the Telus Convention Centre Saturday, got a good meal, a badly needed haircut, a shot of self-esteem and scanned clothes racks in hopes of finding a pair of jeans.
All in all, it was a good day for the 29-year-old man who has been living at the Sunalta homeless shelter, dealing with an alcohol addiction in hopes of being able to reintegrate into the work force.
