TCHC Update: Executive Committee has voted to delay sell-off of affordable homes

Toronto City Council’s Executive Committee has voted to delay consideration of the proposal to sell-off of 675 single-family homes from the Toronto Community Housing Company stock until February 13th. Media reports suggest that Mayor Rob Ford was worried he would lose the vote on this matter at City Council due to strong and principled opposition. More info will be posted as the news develops.

Acknowledgement of Traditional Land

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the Wellesley Institute operates. For thousands of years, it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
