The Glen Manor, is a Senior's Toronto Housing Building with a large infestation of Bed Bugs.

My father moved into this building in 2005 has had 19 fumigations. The bed bugs keep coming back - as the infestation is throughout the entire building.

It is a very sad situation as this is one of Toronto's affordable housing options for seniors. It has been even more difficult to watch senior's throwing out the contents of there homes and having to deal with the rigorous cleaning required to prep for the consistent fumigations at this late stage in their life.

My father has tried to seek compensation for the furniture lost and/or moving costs to a safe building to no avail - Toronto Housing considers the bed infestation as only a nuisance.

The trauma that has ensued as the result of the infestation on Seniors who are unable to move (because of age or low income) is unconscionable.
