""I'm frustrated that the women's drop-in centre is not open. I'm a taxpayer in the City of Toronto as well, and I want to make sure the public purse is being used in a good way and in this case I feel that it hasn't been.""
""Since January 2020, the site has not opened or served a single client from the Adelaide Resource Centre for Women. This raises substantial questions about the site selection process, and whether the leasing and construction costs incurred to date are justified given the absence of any service delivery.""
""A combination of COVID-19 delays and increased material costs accounted for many of the problems with the project, along with some unforeseen issues that arose during the renovation process.""
A women's drop-in centre in Toronto's Cabbagetown has faced significant delays and cost increases since its lease was signed in 2019. Originally budgeted at $3.7 million, the renovation costs have escalated to $13.5 million. City councillor Chris Moise expressed frustration over the lack of service delivery since January 2020 and has requested an administrative review to address concerns about the project's escalating costs and timeline. Staff attributed the delays to COVID-19 and increased material costs, raising questions about the site selection process.
