The Toronto Bailiff has already leased $25 million worth of land on a long-term lease on the basis to aid community projects, such as the TCC, at a modest rate of\u00a0$1 per year for rent, taxed\u00a0accordingly.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\"><em>&#8220;When we applied for funding in November 2019, in just two months the group members volunteered to donate $ 11.2 million.
