200 Wellesley Street Residents Need Our Help
One hundred
and twenty-eight households have been staying in temporary locations since
The Toronto Office of Partnerships is still collecting
donations of cash and gift cards for the displaced residents. Cheques should
be made out to the City of Toronto, 200 Wellesley fire. Donations are tax
deductible, donors should include their full names and addresses to receive
receipts. Cheques can also be mailed to: the Toronto Office of Partnerships,
Metro Hall, First Floor, 55 John Street, Toronto ON M5V 3C6
The
City has also opened a bank account to collect donations, donors can make a
donation at any RBC branch in the city and make a deposit to the account for
"200 Wellesley." Clothing donations can no longer be accepted.
Gift cards for grocery, department and drug stores are also being
accepted at the Community Centre at 519 Church Street.
The
Ontario Fire Marshal continues to investigate the cause of the fire while
Toronto Community Housing staff and engineers are working to assess the
integrity of the structure. More information on re-entry will be shared with
residents as soon as it becomes available.
Let's lend a hand and
help out in any way we can.
New measures come after Councillor Fletcher’s call for proactive enforcement in wake of recent maulings.
