Thank you, Honourable @RobFlackEML, Minister of Municipal Affairs & Housing, for taking the time to meet and discuss the youth homelessness crisis in our city. We’re grateful for the opportunity to share how Covenant House Toronto is working to prevent youth homelessness before it begins and to support young people in breaking the cycle early when it starts. We look forward to our continued partnership supporting our community's next generation. 💙
Since the early 1970s, @CovenantHouse has helped over 100,000 young people facing homelessness or trafficking find safe shelter, support, and hope.   This week, I met with Mark Aston, Executive Director of @CovenantHouseTO, to discuss how we can continue supporting vulnerable youth and strengthen the not-for-profit sector.   We’re grateful for the vital work Covenant House does to help young people rebuild their lives and futures.   #CovenantHouse #Housing

Sex trafficking is a crime taking place in Canada right now. Yet many Canadians still believe it couldn’t happen to their child. The truth is it can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere regardless of age, income, sexual orientation, gender or neighbourhood, with warning signs that can be easily missed. Awareness, education and dialogue are essential to help keep young people safe. If you’re a parent, caregiver, teacher, or someone who wants to learn more, join our webinar on January 22 via Zoom. No registration is required — please use the Zoom details to join the session. Share this post to spread the word. #CovenantHouseTO #AntiSexTrafficking #KnowHumanTrafficking

When youth at Covenant House Toronto are offered opportunities to learn and build new skills, these experiences can often become creative outlets and lead to future careers or lifelong hobbies. Earlier this winter, youth spent the day at Toronto Metropolitan University’s @ImageCentreTO for a hands-on photography workshop as part of their Poy Family Youth in Focus Program. They learned about the history of Polaroid photography and how to transfer a Polaroid image onto another surface using a technique called emulsion transfer. 🙏 Thank you, @ImageCentreTO and team, for providing these inspiring opportunities for young people. 📸 Check out some of the moments from the day. #CovenantHouseTO #YouthPrograms #Photography #Arts
