CONC temporarily relocates to salvation army, suspends its weekend meals

Without posting any notice on the front of the building, no note on the website, no updated phone number... even 211 had to hear about it from a caller!

They're renovating, and in the meantime, their weekday meals are apparently happening at the salvation army location at Dovercourt just north of bloor, except the weekend programming, which is cancelled (and 211 now knows to stop sending people to that.

All this happened in like August. So for the past three months, this website has had the wrong listing for those meals.

In September, as if to compensate for the new shortfall in service, the salvation army also changed their weekly meal to Saturday instead of Friday.

CONC will be removed from the map and the calendar until it reopens, and the meals at the salvation army will be under its own listing.

The salvation army also failed to post any notice on its own building about the changes. So anyone who hasn't been going to these programs regularly leading up to the renovations had no opportunity to find out that they would have to make other arrangements.
