In a Christmas gift to the homeless, the Canadian Armed Forces evicted homeless people staying at the Fort York Armoury in December, 1999, so that war training could carry on in the name of "peacekeeping." Homes not Bombs attempted to have Fort York consider the idea that the whole property should be turned into permanent, affordable, non-profit housing. Below are some links to correspondence regarding this proposal, as well as a summary of the action which took place on a freezing cold Martin Luther King Day in January, 2000.
