The announcement was made by Tory on Thursday alongside Joe Mihevc and Pam McConnell who are tasked with developing the project.

According to McConnell, 1 in 4 children and 1 in 5 adults are living in poverty.

The plan is to expand funding which could eventually cost close to $24.5 million which includes the TTC fare relief for kids.
