Grace Bates, a long-time resident of Cabbagetown, was 63 years of age when she died in the early morning of July 19 [1976] at Nellie’s Hostel on Broadview. She had been taken to Nellie’s Hostel the previous night by a Hostel volunteer after an anonymous phone call stated that she had spent the three previous days and nights alone in wheel chair in Allan Gardens. As a result of the media publicity on her death, an inquest was held.
