Broken Hearts Day follows Valentine’s Day and creates a space to mourn the 3.6 homeless deaths a week in this city and the 132 deaths in Toronto’s shelter system in 2021. The event humanizes those who have died by having participants read the names of a homeless person who has died into a microphone. The participant then rips a red heart, saying “My heart is broken” and those in attendance respond “Our hearts are broken.”

For those participating in the event we ask that you please: 1) wear a mask; 2) social distance and 3) follow the instructions of the marshals. Please share this information about the event with your networks and use the attached posters on social media (IG 1 & IG 2 are for Instagram, there is a new twitter poster) and hashtag:  #BrokenHeartsDayTO
