Homeless advocates are calling on Mayor John Tory to end the use of force against encampments in city parks and to adopt a more compassionate approach when dealing with unhoused people in Toronto.
In a letter titled "A Path Forward," signed by more than 200 organizations, community leaders, academics, artists and musicians, the advocates ask Tory to put the letter on the agenda of Wednesday's city council meeting and to adopt its 15 recommendations.

Residents of a downtown Toronto encampment say the real solution to homelessness is for the city to find them permanent housing, instead of using brute force to push them out of municipal parks.
The residents, who live in tents in Moss Park near Shuter and Jarvis streets, said on Wednesday that shelter hotels are not housing. They said living outside is not easy, but encampments are safer than the temporary indoor spaces that the city has offered.
