Services for ppl experiencing homelessness paused or declined during the pandemic. Every day Toronto’s leadership tells you who the city is for, and it’s not poor people. If you care about health equity, you should care about what’s happening in Trinity Bellwoods #onpoli

Every youth deserves joy, love, peace, health, happiness. But not every youth is provided with accessible opportunities to take care of their physical, emotional, and mental health.⠀ ⠀ This holiday season, please consider donating to New Leaf Foundation. canadahelps.org/en/dn/m/5699…
If giving funds is not accessible to you, there are lots of other ways to support, including: share our posts on social media, like and comment, or start your own peer-to-peer fundraiser. canadahelps.org/en/charities… #GivingTuesday
#TBT One of our brilliant facilitators led this activity on, "the masks we wear." Youth were encouraged to design a mask representing how they present themselves externally and then another based on how they feeling on the inside. (Originally posted in November 2019)
