Homeless advocates gathered outside the office of Toronto Mayor John Tory on Tuesday to demand that the city immediately open more emergency shelter spaces for unhoused people ahead of winter.
The City of Toronto is expanding its shelter system as winter approaches, stressing that the need for beds continues to grow while the resources to fund them remain strained.
Toronto has unveiled its plan to “ensure warm and welcoming places are available for those experiencing homelessness” during the coldest months of the year.
The City of Toronto will be releasing details Monday morning about how it will “ensure warm and welcoming places are available for those experiencing homelessness during the upcoming winter months.”
