Homes Are for People: Maple Ridge Community Conversation

Join us for a community conversation to tackle the housing crisis!
This summer, hundreds of people across the country will gather in small groups to discuss the housing crisis, its root causes, and what solutions we can fight for together.
We’ll discuss drivers of extreme rent increases and housing insecurity, and share our challenges and our hopes for the future.
Alongside our neighbours and community members, we’ll shape the strategy for a national campaign to force the federal government to take decisive action.
