Events and Activities

This is a reminder of The Housing Network of Ontario all-day leadership forum and housing summit:

Where: Metro Central YMCA, 20 Grosvenor St.

When: Monday, November 30th , 2009

Time: 9:30am – 3pm

This summer the provincial government asked Ontarians what a long-term affordable housing strategy should look like. And everywhere across Ontario, people raised their voices in support of a fully-funded and comprehensive long-term plan that will meaningfully address the housing crisis in our communities.

Come together with other housing advocates and activists to discuss the next steps in our work to ensure that everyone in Ontario has the right to live poverty-free, with dignity in housing that is stable, adequate, equitably accessible and affordable. We will be hearing from housing activists across the province about the exciting progress they’ve made, and will be sharing skills and strategies to make our advocacy stronger. If there are specific skills that you’d like to get more comfortable with (media work, lobbying your local politician, etc) please let Yutaka Dirks or Brian Eng know, so that they may be included in the agenda. A draft agenda is included below.
