The city forgets that “writers, professors, profound public figures and artists” all came to die at Perram House.  This eight-bed residential hospice in downtown Toronto was a place where people from all walks of life could die safely, comfortably and with dignity.  The hospice worked particularly hard to provide end-of-life care for Toronto’s homeless and marginalized residents. It closed its doors on April 10, 2013.  On October 5th 2013 the DEPARTMENT unveiled a commemorative sign to remember Perram House.

This hospice had a rich history. Where will we go to die now?
