As the city filed it
Since the onset of the Covid-19 Pandemic, Parks, Forestry and Recreation has provided space in community centres and parks to organizations delivering social services. This included providing space to Toronto Public Health and approved health partners for Covid-19 testing and immunization clinics as well as space to community organizations for food security initiatives. As cost may be a barrier, fees were waived for these initiatives under the emergency order.
