Toronto city council approved on Monday the creation of more than 600 new emergency shelter spaces for refugees and refugee claimants.
In a news release, the City said council approved a recommendation by City staff to execute an agreement with the hotel located at 3 Park Home Ave. in North York.
The statement noted that refugee occupancy in the shelter system has been “steadily increasing” since September of last year, largely due to the border reopening and easing of travel restrictions.
