Ontario Works: Residents at some of the 15 Ontario Works offices in Toronto , where the gift cards are being distributed, were disappointed to discover that the cards have run out. Details on ice-storm gift cards, according to CTV. Lineups at the Golden Mile Ontario Works office started forming as early as 6:30 a.m. By the time doors opened at 8:30 a.m., a long queue had already formed and More than 1,600 Toronto families received free grocery gift cards Tuesday, after a crippling ice storm hit parts of Eastern and Central Canada. But the demand for the cards by Toronto residents, whose food spoiled during the power outage, was much higher than anticipated. "They said come Thursday but you might not get anything. They don't know whats going on. Some people spent their last money getting here," said a Toronto man, who was turned away at the Golden Mile Employment and Social Services office in the citys east end on Tuesday.
