This is an awe-inspiring, deeply compassionate piece of work, the kind you don't see anymore: our journalists spent months this summer getting to know unhoused people across Toronto, to tell an intimate story of the modern history of homelessness in the city. 1/2

What happens at SickKids if disaster strikes in Toronto? Check out this feature I wrote for an inside look of how we prepare for the unimaginable.

Shoutout to all the teams who work tirelessly to make this simulation a reality.

If disaster strikes in Toronto, SickKids springs into action.

My first story for SickKids. 🩵 It was such an honour getting to tell Hope, Rylan and Kyle’s stories and to witness the healing that happens at SickKids in the broadest ways.

[The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) @SickKidsNews]

At SickKids’ prom event, Hope and Rylan got a second chance at the #prom they had to miss. ✨

“I spent my 16th birthday in bed. Then Christmas was a week later. I missed Rylan’s prom. So it’s a really good day after a year of bad days,” says Hope.

Appreciation post!

The team at The Social, CTV is incredible and SO talented. Forever grateful I got to work with each one of these amazing human beings over the past year and for the ability to grow so much as a producer here. 🙏🙌🏻

“The living city mirrors the city of the dead. How you live is how you die.” “Cemeteries reflect the housing crisis that we’ve been dealing with in Toronto, with land being at such a premium.”
Fascinating piece by @royinori.

This was remarkable to witness tonight. Bear Claw Patrol, an Indigenous led outreach to the unhoused in Edmonton, put up a 61-year-old woman named Joanne in a hotel. They found her in pain and cold waiting to get in the Bissell Center (it was -33 out), but it wasn’t open for a couple hours.
Joanne is originally from Quebec and has been homeless for three years. She was so grateful to have a warm room, bed and excited to take a hot bath.
