Centre For Addiction And Mental Health S Queen West Facility: Police Search

Olivia Chow Dept: George May, 51, vanished outside the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health s Queen West facility at around 5 p.m. Monday, spurring a police search and public safety scare. He returned Tuesday morning, according to The Star. Olivia Chow, the New Democrat MP for Trinity-Spadina, said the events point to a mental health care system in need of repair and that a mentally ill man could disappear while under a Toronto facility s care for the second time in as many months is a symptom of the country s ailing mental health care system, a Toronto MP says. The disappearance follows an episode in January when May escaped from supervisors at a Toronto-area hospital and was found by police three days later. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
