Toronto (Canada): City declared a 'sanctuary'

No one is illegal Toronto

On february 20th 2013 Access Without Fear policies passed at Toronto City Hall. The city now strengthened its promise to provide services to all people, regardless of immigration status.

 

A Sanctuary City is one where all people, regardless of immigration status, can live without fear of detention or deportation. It is a city where individuals can exert autonomous control over the places they gather at, their schools, their health centers, their food banks, their social services and their neighbourhoods.

After a marathon nail-biting debate, Toronto City Hall strengthened its
promise to provide services to residents without full immigration status or all their immigration documents.
