Vote for Housing: 2011

Michael Shapcott will be joining a panel of housing experts in asking hard questions of our political parties on issues of affordable housing in Ontario, leading up to the fall election. On September 8th, Vote for Housing will host the event at the Metro Central YMCA. Already confirmed for the political panel are Glenn Murray (Lib), Mark Daye (Green), and Cathy Crowe (NDP). Conservative Martin Abell has been invited but as of yet has not confirmed. Vote for Housing is a city-wide coalition of community groups working to put the issue of livable and affordable housing on provincial election agenda.

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.
