A community dinner and Story Circle hosted by The Green Line on navigating eviction and exploring resources that make the sting hurt less.We know there are days when it feels like evictions are happening left and right — days when it feels like an eviction might happen to you. �
But you’re not alone and we want to help. The Green Line is partnering with St. Stephen-In-The-Fields church to host Story Circles and a community dinner in the Kensington-Chinatown neighbourhood. Join us on Tuesday, Jan. 21, 2025 from 6 to 9 p.m. to talk about how to deal with evictions in Toronto.
Housing organizer Flynn Daunt of the Keele Area Tenant Committee is giving a step-by-step walkthrough on how they successfully fought eviction notices. We also have resource tables featuring the Oakwood Vaughan Community Organization (OVCO), the Federation of Metro Tenants' Associations (FMTA) and the Advocacy Centre for Tenants Ontario (ACTO).
Flynn Daunt is a community organizer and member of the Keele Area Tenants Committee. In 2020, facing down the threat of renoviciton he, alongside his neighbours, successfully resisted through organizing, demonstrations and collective action. They ultimately stopped the eviction and saved their building. Drawing from this experience, Flynn has since organized other buildings in the area, building a grassroots network of tenants to combat renovictions, rent increases, maintenance neglect and abuse from landlords.
Dinner and refreshments will be provided, so don’t miss out! RSVP before spots fill up: https://thegreenline.to/issue/evictions-toronto/#part_three_event
