Addressing homelessness is perhaps the greatest social challenge of our times. The causes of homelessness are varied and complex and require a whole society approach to adopt successful solutions. That being said, with Toronto Shelter and Support Services seeking to locate a shelter in the Wilson Avenue and Keele Street area, an opportunity exists to create a dynamic partnership with Humber River Hospital. Such a close partnership would build real treatment and solution-based strategies that help the homeless back on their feet and not on the street. The vacant lands at 1220 Wilson Avenue is a Toronto Parking Authority site that is a non performing holding for that division. The parcel is nestled into a stable neighbourhood and sits across the street from the Humber River Hospital. The lands front Wilson Avenue and would provide much needed green space in the area and provide a valuable gathering space for employees and patients of Humber River Hospital, the students of Pierre Laporte Middle school to the west and the neighbourhood as a whole. While a homeless shelter has been considered for this site, these discussions have been superseded by opportunities with the leadership of…

When I was a Child Advocate of Toronto, many years ago, I asked the children of Toronto what would be one thing they would do if they were mayor. Lots of them suggested parks and playgrounds. But Sylvia, a 5-year-old, said she would “ask god for more money to buy groceries.” Sylvia experienced hunger and watched her mom run out of grocery money. She knew what it was like to go to school on an empty stomach. Every day she was more focused on her hunger, than her teachers. In a city as prosperous as ours, these stories are far too common. Things are tough. And as the cost of living soars, this is increasingly impacting our kids. Food bank visits in the Greater Toronto Area are up 51 percent from last year. One out of three of these users are children. The City of Toronto steps up every day to help feed over 230,000 kids through the school food program. I’m proud of my own work in getting that program off the ground and continuing to improve it. At this meeting alone, we voted to ensure 8,000 more kids will be fed at school starting in January. That means fewer hungry kids, and badly needed savings for parents. Yet we must recognize how serious the problem is today…
