Explore Toronto’s streets from a perspective
that is not mentioned in any travel guide! Our guide, a former homeless person,
will take us downtown Toronto visiting key sites.
The walk is an excellent opportunity to learn about the complexities of poverty and homelessness from a first-hand perspective. How are issues like mental illness, government policy, addiction, family, and community contributing to a person's experience of poverty? How can you offer leadership to address these issues? The aim of this alternative city tour is not to crave for sensation, but to raise understanding how there can be a place for everyone in society.
