BREAKING NEWS: SHJN has released a full winter plan to counter the horribly inadequate one released by the city.

This plan includes data, graphs, and is divided into five sections based on what a fulsome winter plan SHOULD address:

NEW Op Ed in solidarity with Belle Park encampment residents: "...we urge the City to take a human rights based approach to shelter and housing, work with encampment residents, and redirect funds towards community-informed, low-barrier housing."

Please consider donating! It is unconscionable that refugee claimants and asylum seekers are without food and water, let alone shelter. Myself and @lorrainelamchop are asking for your help to purchase these items to help keep people hydrated and well. https://t.co/iGFmQHnulc

Since 2014, our PEACH (Palliative Education And Care for the Homeless) Program has compassionately cared for 1000+ unhoused people across the City of Toronto.

What makes PEACH so impactful?

Check out our new article in @LongwoodsNotes to learn more. 🙏🏽

The existence of PEACH is demonstrative of the problem it seeks to solve – that mainstream #palliativecare services do not meet the needs of people experiencing #homelessness. @NaheedD @DonnaSpaner @AlissaTedesco @NPersaud5 @MDTrev @ICHA_Toronto

Dear Danielle Smith:

I’m a Calgary OBGYN covering labour and delivery in Lethbridge today. This is a full-blown women’s health crisis and it’s about time you treat it as such.

Feel free to call our unit. I’m working for 48hrs. Happy to discuss strategies #ableg

Ontarians deserve BETTER! We need to ensure access to health care when people need it with their OHIP card, not their credit card. Our co-chairs @MaggieHulbert and @mtalveer out here supporting more investment in public health care, not privatization and cuts. 💥

Powerful rally with @SHJNetwork and @DrsDefundPolice as well as community members who gathered together, honour the lives lost and to demand a divestment from policing, keep open warming centers 24/7, adequate shelter space & increased social housing NOW!

[CAMH @CAMHnews]

🧵 Tomorrow, Toronto City Council will vote on whether to increase access to warming centres this winter.
CAMH physicians and healthcare providers across the city have written a letter urging @JohnTory and all City Councillors to vote in favour of this move.
Here’s why.

@luketgharland @wellcometrust @SCICambridge 🙌🙌 so well deserved! Stoked to see what you find

[Alyshah Sanmati Hasham @alysanmati]

Heathcare workers and advocates call on Toronto’s City Council to have warming centres to open at zero degrees, to be open longer with way more spaces that are easily accessible, and clear communication about what is available. Right now they open at -15.
