Toronto ACORN

Landlords are now required to follow new COVID-19 health and safety rules from Toronto Public Health, city council has decided.

Brave tenants in one of the worst private market housing buildings in the City of Toronto at 279 Woodfield Road made a great step on Thursday July 09. They overcame their fear of slumlord retaliation to organize a very effective, loud, and raucous demonstration at their tenement.

The heat wave gripping Toronto and the GTA adds a new layer to the closures and restrictions brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. 

City councillors and advocates pleaded with the Ford government on Thursday to turn back from changes to tenancy law set to create a massive wave of evictions of the people hit hardest by the COVID-19 pandemic.
