Toronto’s ombudsman says the city must treat people living in homeless encampments with dignity and respect.
Ombudsman Kwame Addo is conducting an investigation into the city’s clearing of encampments in Toronto last year and has released an interim report with recommendations for the city today. Addo says the city should develop a detailed plan outlining how and when it will update its encampment response protocol, hold consultations with the public to inform that update and clearly outline the role and mandate of its encampment office.
He says the city should implement the recommendations immediately to improve the fairness of its response to encampments.The city and police cleared four homeless encampments in three Toronto parks last summer, but clashed with residents and their supporters while doing so.
