The red dots = pharmacies now providing vaccines
The red blank spot = Toronto's Northwest corner (one of the areas hardest hit by #COVID19 & where many low-income racialized people live)
Why is Ontario's #CovidVaccine distribution plan leaving out those most affected?

Early story up: Ontario says it will donate LRT land for Jane-Finch community centre after all thestar.com/news/gta/2021/03…

After years of community work and advocacy, the Province of Ontario has announced that it is transferring just over 2 acres of land along Finch between Norfinch Dr & York Gate Blvd to the City of Toronto at no cost for our community to build a Community Hub & Centre for the Arts.

A rally has just started at the new Finch-West LRT site - members of the Jane & Finch community say they will “fight back” after Metrolinx scrapped plans to donate the land for a much-needed community hub in the neighbourhood. A few dozen people are here in support.
Clara Stewart-Robertson retweeted
The province’s messaging over the fate of the Jane-Finch community hub is confusing enough that Ontario’s advocate for community opportunities seems to have misconstrued it. Metrolinx has made no commitment not to sell the land. 1/ – at Oakville, Ontario

In Jane-Finch, leaders fume at ‘terrible betrayal’ after Metrolinx goes back on plan to donate land for community centre thestar.com/news/gta/2020/07… – at Toronto, Ontario

Unacceptable. A total betrayal for the community, one of the densest parts of Toronto, high % of youth, an area with a huge need for a new community center. When people ask 'why dont communities get behind these new light rail projects?'... look no further than Exhibit A.
Not cool. Metrolinx reverses plan to donate land for Jane-Finch community centre, will instead sell to highest bidder. | Via @TorontoStar thestar.com/news/gta/2020/07…

@Metrolinx reneges on plan to donate land for #Jane_Finch community centre, will instead sell to highest bidder. @JFAAP supported community efforts to secure this land for a badly needed hub. Shame on you @Metrolinx ! This is not over!

Bit of a pattern here. Metrolinx eased community opposition to a massive rail bridge in Davenport by promising a mural on it, then last year quietly scrapped mural funding. thestar.com/news/gta/2019/08…

Having worked directly with community leaders on this project since 2014, this news is beyond devastating. The land parcel that Metrolinx now wants to sell only exists because the Jane-Finch community fought for it. This is a completely betrayal of their trust & efforts.

What does it say about the character of a provincial government that would reneg on a promise to support, when the needs for social services are so apparent, the Jane and Finch community? Seriously. It’s shameful.

Dr.Ngola overcame hardships to live the immigrant dream in NB. Then Canadian racism hit: he’s labeled Patient zero for COVID, premier threatens prosecution, he is doxxed, lives in fear - all for doing what other doctors did. By @AmiraElghawaby thestar.com/opinion/contribu…
