Are you interested in increasing trust and cohesion within the housing sector, catalyzing action, and building a more complete and sustainable regional housing system?

Join the Housing Action Lab on June 26, 2018 at Evergreen Brick Works for a day of relationship building and strategizing.

You’ll hear from multi-sectoral groups working on tower renewal, the missing middle of housing, transit supportive development and socially inclusive design. Our keynote address will be given by Derek Ballantyne, newly appointed chair to CMHC and long-time leader in housing innovation. Derek will share his insights into the National Housing Strategy and the role we all have in making it as impactful as we can.
