It is one of the few 'wet' shelters in Toronto and those who stay there may have a drink. It has saved lives over the years.</p>
<p>OCAP, the Downtown East Committee of Stop the Cuts and others in the community are challenging this decision. City staff have presented a report to the Community Development and Recreation Committee upholding the decision to close the School House. On the 26th, the community is mobilizing to go to their meeting and demand the shelter be kept open.</p>
