Housing on the Hill Day is back and in-person for 2022!

Housing on the Hill Day is an annual event organized by CHRA that facilitates meetings between housing professionals and Members of Parliament to discuss issues of importance to the social and non-profit housing sector. The Day’s agenda also features updates on key federal housing policies and programs delivered by senior government and political representatives, and an all party political panel that will provide insight into the parties’ views on the housing crisis and how to address it.

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear directly from senior national housing leaders and officials and engage in discussions directly with federal elected officials on the issues that matter to you and the community housing sector at large.
