Dear Councillor Wong-Tam:
RE: Redevelopment of Seaton House and the Revitalization of George Street
On July 17, 2013 City Council adopted the Staff Report, with amendments, on the Redevelopment of Seaton House and the Revitalization of George Street.
CUPE Local 79 would like to thank you for your keen and informed interest in the City’s shelter system and, in this instance, Seaton House.
The amendments you made to the original Staff Report reflected our concerns about the capacity of Seaton House, once it is redeveloped, and concerns about the transition period for these vulnerable residents during the redevelopment and revitalization phases scheduled to take place over the next four years.
Your amendments helped to secure a thorough approach to this project that will hopefully improve the lives of Toronto’s vulnerable, homeless population.
Yours truly,
Tim Maguire, President
