Working towards equality in Toronto

Toronto City Hall’s Council Chambers was the site for a public forum  on June 26th sponsored by economicinequality.ca that brought together a variety of experts from a range of social policy fields including taxation, childcare, employment and income support. The Wellesley Institute’s Director of Housing and Innovation, Michael Shapcott, gave a presentation on housing and inequality. His presentation is posted here.

Acknowledgement of Traditional Land

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the Wellesley Institute operates. For thousands of years, it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
