System Tory: Refugee Claimants and Tory

system tory: He said the latest figure represents 37.6 per cent of those in the system, according to The Chronicle Herald. Tory said if those levels continue, the city will incur 64.5 million in costs related to providing shelter and housing for refugee claimants by the end of this year. Mayor John Tory said Thursday that the number of refugee claimants in the city's shelters has grown from an average of 459 per night in 2016, to an average of 2,351 per night this month. As is the case with the general shelter population, it would seem that Toronto ends up taking on responsibility for the entire region without the funding support that recognizes that, Tory said. But Toronto has reached the limits of its ability to independently address the resettlement of the refugee claimants, he added. The city has taken measures to expand the capacity of its shelter system over the past 18 months, Tory said. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
