Church of the Redeemer

The Church of the Redeemer, at Bloor and Avenue, holds breakfast and lunch programs every weekday... except for holidays. They're also closed from August 6, reopening on September 16 this year - that's their annual summer break.

Directions, from their site: "We are located just on the corner of Avenue Rd. and Bloor St. West (our address is 162 Bloor St. W). On your first visit, enter through the SIDE DOOR of the church that faces Avenue Rd. You will go down a small flight of stairs and enter into a hallway that will lead you to our drop-in space. If you are in a wheelchair or need to take our lift down into the basement, please let someone know outside, and we will come up to assist you at the side of the church."

Happy Victoria Day...

So, St. Felix and PARC both ran as TDIN said they would today... but Evangel Hall's lunch was at 11am, not noon as the TDIN Victoria Day schedule said.

That confirms that TDIN's listings aren't always well-researched, so in the future, more effort will be made to do that research and make accurate listings available on this website, so that at least somewhere on the 'net, there's a correct listing for holiday meals.

Victoria Day 2013 Holiday Meals & Schedule Changes

Here's the Toronto Drop-in Network's Victoria Day Holiday Meals update:




Or check it out on its own.

TDIN's website is probably not designed for meal program users, and that's why it won't just show you the data like this... it makes you download the PDF.

Looks like the schedule is pretty normal. PARC and CONC are serving at 1 instead of noon. It's the days before and after the holiday that are the real question. Please submit tips on closures in the comments section below - you can do it anonymously without logging in.

PNC lunch & jam sessions @ BPC

The BPC (Bonar-Parkdale Presbyterian Church) is hosting the Parkdale Neighbourhood Church meal programs on Mondays, and it includes a small musical setup. So there's food, coffee, guitars, keys, maybe a hand-drum, and a ton of locals. It's a big place.

So that's Mondays from 11:30am - 3pm.

Here's a Google Maps Street View link to the door you have to use to get in

The address is 250 Dunn Avenue, and it's just south of Queen St.
