Zita Astravas: For the second time this week, hundreds lined up before the Golden Mile employment and social services office opened but the cards disappeared quickly, leaving people feeling frustrated and unhappy with the way the cards are being distributed, according to CTV. About $75,000 worth of gift cards were distributed Thursday to more than 1,600 families who are "most in need," said Zita Astravas, a spokeswoman for Premier Kathleen Wynne and The overwhelming demand for grocery store gift cards that are being handed out to Toronto ice storm victims continued to outpace the supply Thursday, with dozens of people being turned away when at least one location ran out of vouchers almost immediately. Despite being told to come back Friday, dozens who didnt receive a card opted to stay in line, just in case the offices supply was replenished. More cards arrived later in the afternoon. The same situation played out Tuesday, the first day the cards were distributed. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
