NEW: Refugees stranded on Toronto streets, Ottawa won't commit to more funding.
Newly-minted Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow said the city manager, Paul Johnson, is set to meet with his provincial and federal counterparts on Friday to discuss the issue and figure out a way to “"I am looking for concrete solutions for the end of the immediate crisis, as well as a longer term action plan to provide refugees dignified shelter and housing when they arrive," she said in a statement ahead of the meeting.
According to the city, Toronto hasn’t received any new funding since last year, when the federal government provided money to the city to cover the costs of asylum seekers who accessed Toronto’s shelter system in 2022. “The capacity issues of Toronto are moving to the 905 and it’s going to move out farther as space opens up,” Henry said in an interview with CTV News Toronto. “But there isn’t a lot of available space to start with.”
