Daniel Roy sat hunched over on the southeast corner of Bloor
St. and St. George last week, legs outstretched, his head sinking to the ground
between his knees.
In front of him was a sign that read: “Retired military.
Sick and homeless. Please help.”
Wearing a dark green military jacket decorated with insignia
and a maroon beret, he thanked strangers that dropped coins into his small tin
or stopped to bring him food, and gave the sign of the cross when a man handed
him a $20-bill.
Roy, 49, was arrested and charged with unlawfully wearing a
uniform of the Canadian Forces on Tuesday morning.
Toronto Police were notified of Roy’s actions after a
veteran suspected his uniform was not legitimate.
This is my brother. I have lost contact with him almost 6 years ago. He suffers from severe depression and drug addiction. I have tried numerous time to get in touch with him without success. If someone knows anything about my brother Danny, please reach out to stephan.roy@hotmail.com
