Canada’s housing crisis impacts municipalities of all sizes. Affordable housing remains out of reach for a growing number of Canadians, and our most vulnerable residents continue to face the risk of homelessness. Providing affordable, decent, and safe housing has become one of the biggest policy challenges of our time—and is a cornerstone of a truly inclusive recovery. Join your peers for a session dedicated to the latest developments on affordable housing. Hear from local leaders and experts who are putting forward innovative solutions, engaging in creative partnerships and demonstrating their frontline understanding of the housing crisis before us.
