Please register for and attend the upcoming online Summit this Monday and Tuesday, which focusses on the issue of sustainable, affordable housing in small towns, the impact on towns, workforce housing, financing, and innovative solutions.
Two special local/regional sessions take place on the second day, Tuesday, Nov 1.
Session 12 is a facilitated discussion on the concept of how a regional approach to affordable housing in Southern Georgian Bay could augment and benefit local municipal action.
Session 13 is on the 10 pilot projects to come out of these annual Summits.
The Summit program is available here to help strategically choose what sessions to attend if you cannot attend them all.
