Mayor John Tory renewed his call for the provincial government to amend legislation that would allow Toronto Community Housing to ban tenants who’ve been evicted for serious criminal activity. Mayor John Tory wrote an open letter to Housing Minister Steve Clark on Sunday. In it, he renewed calls to change laws so criminals with serious convictions would be banned from reapplying to Toronto Community Housing. Council asked the Liberals to make amendments to the Housing Services Act, 2011, which would allow the ban of criminals with serious offences. Toronto Community Housing houses 110,000 residents in nearly 60,000 units.
