Students busk in subways for homeless youth

Schools across the city took over subway stations on Feb. 11, singing, dancing and collecting TTC tokens for Toronto’s Tokens4Change event.

Tokens were collected for Youth Without Shelter to help homeless youth get around the city for school, doctor appointments and job interviews.

“One third of youth are homeless and people don’t realize it,” organizer Scott Parish said.

Parish emphasized the importance of youth being involved with the event since it addressed the homeless problem among youth.
