The documentary Thinking Beyond the Market: A Film About Genuinely Affordable Housing is a cross-Canada tour of best practices that, if applied broadly, could mitigate the housing crisis. Register early for a showing at our church on Sunday May 17 at 2 p.m. followed by a panel discussion. The best practices shown include Hamilton’s renoviction bylaw, strengthened rent controls, building non-profit housing on public land and a massive Indigenous project on Indigenous land near Vancouver. Dr. Brian Doucet, housing researcher and associate professor at the University of Waterloo, directed and will be present at the screening, along with a panel to discuss the ideas presented.
