Toronto (Canada): City declared a 'sanctuary'

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.
