Description

September 27 Toronto The Tri-Aid gay group home was again refused registration as a boarding home under the Children's Boarding Home Act. Although the Day Nurseries Review Board acknowledged there was a "great need" for the kind of service Tri-Aid was attempting to provide, it concluded that "the staff of Tri-Aid House were not sufficiently or appropriately qualified to offer residential care to young people … experiencing … problems in their sexual orientation." Tri-Aid House, located at 8 Irwin Avenue, closed in November 1979.
