TORONTO – The #TorontoStrong Fund says it will open a designated account for donations to the victims of the Sunday shooting on Danforth Avenue in Toronto.
The fund says it will ensure that donations are collected and distributed to those affected in an accountable and transparent manner.
An 18-year-old woman and a 10-year-old girl were killed and 13 others injured when a gunman fired into restaurants and patios along the Danforth.
