Scope and content | This file consists of a presentation by Gus Ashawasega and Judi Hall focusing on housing for Aboriginals in Metropolitan Toronto. The Native Men's Residence is one of five urban Aboriginal housing organizations in Toronto perspective on Aboriginal housing in Toronto. Housing is required for families, singles, homeless, two-spirited peoples, seniors and the disabled. The federal government announced as of 1 January 1993 that new funding commitments for urban Aboriginal housing initiatives would no longer be provided. The speakers call on the Commission to help rescind the federal government's action as housing is urgently needed in Toronto.
