Thomas Walkom Dept: Offering sanctuary is misguided, Feb. 23, according to The Star. His claim that the city has no jurisdiction in the matter is refuted by the City of Toronto Act, which defines the city as a corporation that is composed of the inhabitants of its geographic area. The duty of city council therefore, is to serve all its inhabitants equally and fairly and re: Offering sanctuary is misguided, Feb. 23 The usually-astute Thomas Walkom is off-base in his criticism of Toronto city council decision to declare the city a sanctuary for non-status residents.
