This week has been proclaimed at Community Workers Week, where we recognize and give thanks to our front-line workers in our social services. Toronto has more than 14,000 community-based not-for-profits that employ more than 200,000 people. They are the people we turn to when we need help the most, with housing, food and mental health supports to name but a few. The City and United Way are working with 211 and more than 400 Toronto agencies in a newly created Community Coordination Plan, to ensure low-income and vulnerable residents continue to have access to essential services. Please join me in giving thanks!
