Collingwood Mayor Brian Saunderson has declared today “Toque Tuesday”.
It’s in support of Raising the Roof’s annual Toque Campaign.
For the first time this year, Redwood Park Communities is a partnering agency, with funds raised supporting the creation of safe, affordable, hopeful housing right here in Simcoe County.
Since 1997, the annual Toque Campaign has supported nearly 200 community agencies across Canada, raising more than $8 million to date in support of long-term solutions to homelessness.

Homelessness, simply defined, is the #absence of a place to live.#Homelessness is not a choice. In reality, anyone can become homeless.
Buy a #toque today to help prevent homelessness tomorrow. https://t.co/XT8Ps0amY9 pic.twitter.com/gQy6TdpmUC— Raising the Roof (@RaisingTheRoof) February 1, 2021
