On Thursday morning, members of the North York community expressed safety and security concerns in the wake of recent shootings, including one last week near Chalkfarm Drive and Jane Street that left a teenager seriously injured.
During an emergency news conference, members said there is a lack of adequate housing and better programs for youth in their area, which needs to be addressed in order to stop the violence.
