The African Canadian church in Toronto’s Downsview area has sheltered nearly 700 people since July
Revivaltime Tabernacle, a church that took in several hundred recent asylum claimants over the past few months in response to Toronto’s shelter space crisis, says it will no longer be open as a shelter.
She says that all 230 asylum seekers sheltering at the church have been moved to a temporary hotel or municipal shelter per an agreement with the City of Toronto. Then-deputy mayor Jennifer McKelvie said the city’s shelters were at splitting capacity and on May 31 announced that without an additional $97 million from Ottawa, Toronto’s municipal shelters would no longer take in asylum seekers.
