help or emergencies come, you can call the number I wrote down on the whiteboard in the kitchen, which is the building management office's number. They will be online every day from 9 am to 5 pm.
Moreover

If you still need some groceries or necessary things, there is a convenient store which opens 24 hours just a block away, at the intersection of Bay Street and Bloor Street.
Last
but not least, hope you have a good experience in Toronto! If I can end my trip earlier, I will definitely take you to visit the nearby museums and shops. See you
then
. Best regards, Emily
