City council approves $80M plan for 600 refugee shelter spaces at North York hotel | CBC News

A photo of Hotel Novotel in North York, where the City of Toronto is planning to house 600 refugees and refugee claimants starting next month. According to a city news release, current demand for spaces is similar to the surge of new refugee arrivals experienced by Toronto's shelter system in 2018 and 2019.

According to the release, current demand for spaces is similar to the surge of new refugee arrivals in Toronto's shelter system in 2018 and 2019."Despite adding 750 new spaces for refugees and refugee claimants in the spring of 2022, demand continues to grow." "Refugee-serving programs are distinct, as they include wrap-around supports that are specifically geared towards helping refugees and refugee claimants get established and build connections in the community."

This is irresponsible spending! No more immigrants until our house is in order in terms of more hospitals and better healthcare, more housing. How does 600 spaces cost 80 million

Bs !!! Trying to win an election cbc !!

StanChoMPP do something

Canada does not take care of its own citizens, has crap healthcare, and cannot defend itself militarily and is behind on NATO obligations. However, the country lets in a half million or so people each year and many of them aren't worth a pinch of salt. What a slap in the face.

healthcare and housing crisis but sure come one come all. The people in government don't want to fix these issues they want to exacerbate it by putting more strain on the system
