This is an open, community-based knowledge exchange event. Everyone is welcome to join us at Regent Park across from Pam McConnell Aquatic Centre.
People experiencing homelessness face unique challenges which have worsened with COVID-19 and the pandemic. The research study team spoke with people living in Toronto’s shelters about COVID-19, the COVID-19 vaccine, and other pandemic-related questions. We asked people to share their thoughts on how the government could have improved their response to the pandemic. Our goal is to use the responses to inform policy makers. This event is for the research study team to share what we heard and to give other people a chance to speak on these things.
Lunch will be provided by Paramount Fine Foods. Vegetarian and meat options will be available. All meat is halal.
