Original Toronto Star caption: Grass roots meeting on Tuesday night was called to slot strategy after the way seemed clear to finally getting a site for a transient youth tent city on the former Mercer Reformatory site. Planning began last January but ran into opposition from some organizations; plus internal troubles because of different ideas on how to proceed.
