Hello everyone, I hope this finds you safe and well.
As you know, Toronto has moved to Step 2 of Ontario’s Re-Opening plan on June 30th, and we are excited for PWA to re-open some of our services!
Here is what we will be bringing back, and what will stay the same at PWA during Step 2:
Starting July 5th, 2021, here is what we will be bringing back to PWA in Step 2:

We are excited to bring more services back as safely as possible while following Public Health guidelines.
If you have any feedback or questions, please let us know! We want to hear what you want us to bring back or keep as we start to re-open from the lockdowns.
I also want to give our volunteers a big shout out, if you are interested in coming back, please contact Yapoka Mtegha, our Engagement Coordinator, at ymtegha@pwatoronto.org or at (416) 506-1400 ext. 244. We will be bringing our volunteers back as Ontario continues to re-open.
