Coronavirus outbreak: Toronto to provide free internet service to vulnerable residents
Description
April 28, 2020
Toronto Mayor John Tory announced on Tuesday that the city has been able to co-ordinate free temporary internet access for many vulnerable Torontonias during the pandemic, including residents in lower income neighbourhoods, seniors in long-term care homes and clients in many city-operated shelters in partnership with technology and telecommunication companies. The first buildings will begin receiving the service early May.
