Background

The Willowdale home will soon be the home of Toronto's first city-run Indigenous shelter for women and children. The creation of this shelter is an important step towards reconciliation. In order to make sure Indigenous voices are at the center of planning, the recommendations were created by working closely with the Native Women's Resource Center of Toronto.
