Our biggest and we hope best public event on the challenges of affordable housing and the solutions is tomorrow evening, 6-9 in our sanctuary. Doors open at 5:45. If you haven’t, please register at Eventbrite https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/keys-to-affordable-housing-a-hamilton-burlington-tenant-forum-tickets-1060413889489 and come and bring friends. If you can’t attend in person, please email housing@uuhamilton.ca and we’ll send you the link to watch the livestream, just like our services.
Rev. Danie will provide opening words. Then we’ll hear from Hamilton tenants, a former Hamiltonian who is leading a tenants’ union in Toronto, Sharlene Henry, and from one of Canada’s most-sought-after housing experts, Dr. Carolyn Whitzman, whose book, Home Truths: Fixing Canada’s Housing Crisis. will be on sale at the event. There will be time for questions and for small group discussion on next steps to see the proposed solutions implemented.
