Haven Toronto
Haven Toronto is the only daytime shelter for elder homeless men in the Toronto area. Besides giving the men a safe place to go during the day and providing meals, clothing, internet and many other services, Haven Toronto also advocates for affordable housing and a large number of elder issues.
The Heat Is On To Help The Homeless
It’s no surprise that summer wins hands-down as Canada’s favorite season. Canadians enjoy the great outdoors and when it comes to summer amusement, running, hiking and biking, watersports, and camping are top activities.
However, being outdoors in the heat and sun is not everyone’s idea of fun. Particularly elder homeless men who are already under significant stress because of challenging living conditions. Adding unbearable heat for long periods of time can trigger troublesome health issues.

Haven Toronto invites you to Walktober, a virtual walk in support of elder homeless men.
During the month of October, walk, hike, run or bike, any day, any distance. Set a goal and challenge yourself. Invite family and friends to join your team or support you with a donation towards your goal.
Proceeds help reduce barriers – and steps – to accessing programs and supports vital to the health and wellbeing of elder homeless men, including health care, housing and food security.
As you crank up the AC yet another notch please consider helping those who can’t escape the heat as easily. It’s so easy – shop online at Haven Toronto’s Shop & Share site! Anything you purchase there goes directly to an elder homeless man in need, and seasonal inventory ensures that much-needed supplies are readily at hand.
Of course you can also give to the general operating fund of the organization by clicking on the logo below. Please note that you will be linked to our very own donations page which still bears the former name of the shelter – The Good Neighbours Club. Your donation will still arrive at Haven Toronto.
The Children’s Aid Foundation of Canada
The Children’s Aid Foundation advocates for Canadian youth in the foster care system
Through no fault of their own, youth in and from care go through a lot of hardships early in life. These challenges become increasingly difficult to overcome when experiencing intersecting challenges.
This can be even more difficult for youth in the 2SLGBTQ+ community, which is why it is important that we learn about the challenges that these youth face so we can help reduce them. 82% of children and youth in care have been diagnosed with physical, cognitive, emotional, or social problems. Every youth in and from care deserves a support system where they feel loved and respected. If you, or someone you know is interested in learning more about the 2SLGBTQ+ community and the barriers they often face, click here.
In Canada, 52.2% of children who are under the age of 15 and living in foster care are Indigenous, even though Indigenous children account for only 7.7% of the total child population.
The Children’s Aid Foundation provides programs to support Indigenous youth in and from care such as the Back to the Land program. Through attending culturally specific camps and retreats, receiving instruction in traditional arts and cooking, and experiencing cultural holiday celebrations, youth can connect to their culture in ways they otherwise could not have.
You can help make a difference too! Check our First Nations Caring Society’s blog post, 7 Free Ways to Make a Difference.

SCREEN CAPS
This month we have 639 caps from Season 1 of Urban Angel, Episode 5 Fire and Ice.
Plot Summary:
Victor discovers a powerful new drug on the streets of Montreal: “ice ”. Frustrated by the Tribune’s lack of interest, he goes undercover to get the story.
Based on the memoirs of Canadian journalist Victor Malarek, Urban Angel chronicles the journey of a street-wise ex-con who gets a job writing a column for the fictional Montreal Tribune. During the course of his work, he fights society’s dysfunctions and a spectrum of crime situations. This iconic series produced by Montreal’s prolific Telescene Film Group starring Louis Ferreira (credited as Justin Louis) and featuring many important talents aired on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) and later, in the United States on CBS Late Night from 1990-93.
You can watch the episode online here.

THE 4th READING SERIES: MR. MUGS – ROCKETS AWAY!
The fourth monthly reading series continues in Mr. Mugs – Rockets Away! by Martha Kambeitz and Denise Burns.
Unlike previous readers, this volume was published as a hardcover book within the Level 3 series of the Mr. Mugs readers. It was originally released in 1968. The Mr. Mugs books have been out of print for many years but occasionally you can find them on eBay, Amazon Marketplace or various other antique book dealers.
Louis credits the Mr. Mugs books series with helping him to learn English at a very young age.
You can listen to all the previous book readings under the Reading Series Tab.
Here is this month’s chapter.
Listen to the sound clip here:
Chapter 24: Lyo and Bijou
Lyo and Bijou
There was a donkey called Lyo
and a goat called Bijou.
Lyo’s and Bijou’s home was
in a beautiful green valley.
But – they didn’t like it there.
They wanted to have some fun!
“Let’s go away somewhere,”
said Lyo. “Let’s go to the town!”
“That’s a good idea,” said Bijou.
“But how can we get there?”
“when we’re told to do something,
let’s not do it,” said Lyo.
“Then our master will get angry.”
… to be continued next month!
And… the master was angry.
“I’ll get Lyo and Bijou a new master,”
he thought.
So Lyo and Bijou got a new master
and away they went to the town.
“How happy we’ll be,” they thought.
But – the new master made Lyo and
Bijou work and
WORK.
Oh, how they wished to be back
in the valley.
One night Lyo said,
“Let’s go and see our old master.
Maybe he’ll let us come back.”
So Lyo and Bijou went back
to the valley.

“Today is the first day of official summer. I’ve been manifesting a good one. Definitely a picnic, definitely vegan ice cream at said picnic. It’s hard to learn new things.
That’s why I’m rereading Heroes of Olympus, something old and comforting is like going home. This is your reminder to read something you love, and learn something new.
Happy summer everyone!”
