About the Review

"The naming of Mr. LeSage is an example of Toronto Community Housing's commitment to being open, transparent and accountable, and to ensuring successful tenancies of all residents, especially those most vulnerable."

— David Mitchell, board chair, Toronto Community Housing

The LeSage Review of the Eviction of Al Gosling and the Eviction Prevention Policy will be an independent, third-party review led by respected former Chief Justice of Ontario, Mr. Patrick LeSage.
The review will focus on three key areas:

  • Whether gaps existed that led to Mr. Gosling’s eviction and, if so, what remedial measures are needed.
  • How to improve Toronto Community Housing’s policies and procedures for preventing evictions, particularly when dealing with tenants who become vulnerable.
  • How Toronto Community Housing’s response to vulnerable tenancies can be strengthened.

In conducting the review, Mr. LeSage will seek the input of Toronto Community Housing staff, tenants and stakeholders.

Toronto Community Housing will respond to and assist the review as requested by Mr. LeSage.
Mr. LeSage’s report will be made public after it is submitted to the board of Toronto Community Housing.
