StarEditorial: Toronto Council’s decision this week not to open warming centres around-the-clock to provide shelter for the city’s most vulnerable residents was beyond disappointing. It was a disgrace.
— council instead supported a motion to ask the federal and provincial governments for more support. And it will investigate the “feasibility of providing 24/7 drop in spaces.”
Mayor John Tory, who voted against the motion to keep the centres open, has long stressed that permanent supportive housing is a better solution than temporary shelters and warming centres. That’s true, but when it comes to permanent or temporary shelter, this isn’t an either/or proposition. . Street living is largely a day-to-day affair, for example, while stable housing requires planning for the future.
