Shovel Ready, Now What?

Canada is facing a housing crisis. Projects are approved. Financing is in place. Shovels are ready. So why isn't housing being built?
About this Event

Kehilla Affordable Housing presents Shovel Ready, Now What?, a panel discussion exploring the real barriers standing between approved housing projects and completed homes.
