Demonstrations and Actions

OCAP fought back against gentrification and the City's ongoing policy to push poor and, especially, homeless people out of the downtown core. On October 4th, we marched through the streets of Cabbagetown and made it clear that poor people who live in the neighbourhood and use services in the neighbourhood are staying in the neighbourhood.

Low income tenants and homeless people are being driven from central Toronto to make way for an oversupply of higher income housing. Public housing is being replaced by condos.
