The keeper of the names at Toronto Memorial for Homeless Deaths isn’t an easy job to begin with, but Gru, currently serving in the role, says a recent decision by the city to change the way it reports shelter deaths will only make it more difficult.
Anti-poverty advocates are seen marching to city hall after a ceremony at the Toronto Homeless Memorial in 2020.
The SSHA said its data is a sub-sect of Toronto Public Health’s, and that the move is meant to align with their reporting schedule. “That is absolutely unacceptable,” Gru said. “It takes away a grieving process, and really crucially, [..] it’s further dehumanizing and anonymizing those who are dying in [city] care.”
To the claims that the move puts forth a barrier to freedom of information, Toderian reiterated the city’s commitment to transparency.
