Olivia Chow Helps House Immigrants

2004_11_17housing.gifA tipster sends us the following mangled city o’ toronto press release. Though the city hasn’t been able to help the homeless find housing, they’ve found an ingenious way of helping settle the recent immigrant pop. To wit:

Councillor Olivia Chow, Chair of the Community Services Committee, visited a bus shelter in Scarborough to unveil new posters designed to raise awareness among non-English-speaking Toronto residents and visitors that they can obtain emergency service in over 150 languages when they call 9-1-1. The posters are being placed strategically in transit shelters and recycling bins across Toronto where large populations of recent immigrants reside.
