Wellesley Institute works in research and policy to improve health and health equity in the GTA through action on the social determinants of health.
Melbourne, Australia, like Toronto and many other cities around the world, is facing a shortage of affordable housing for families even as the private market builds relatively small new homes. Prof Carolyn Whitzman from the University of Melbourne was at the Wellesley Institute on January 21 to report on progress with her research and policy project that aims to build effective collaboration among a variety of partners to create family-friendly affordable homes.
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.
