• CBC Toronto notes how the City of Toronto has given residents of a homeless encampment under the Gardiner at Spadina the order to vacate.


• Peter Biesterfeld at NOW Toronto reports on how the tragic death of Crystal Papineau in Bloorcourt has encouraged many activists to call for better policies for the homeless, starting with improving the shelter system.
