Description

March 13 Toronto The Tri-Aid Charitable Foundation, which operated a group home for gay youth at 8 Irwin Avenue, was refused registration under the Children's Boarding Home Act by the Ontario Ministry of Community and Social Services, under minister Keith Norton. The ministry declared that it "felt anxious about the potential impact on a child's sexuality at Tri-Aid House." As a result of the ministry's decision, Tri-Aid's application to Toronto City Hall for rezoning as a boarding home was also defeated. Doug Chin, founder and director of Tri-Aid, appealed both decisions. (See also August 13–16, 1979; September 14, 1979; and September 27, 1979.)
