People tend to think of housing issues as affecting mostly young adults when it actually impacts seniors, those new to Canada, young families and others. Community members will have an opportunity to voice their concerns about housing and inform public policy at a discussion at the University of Waterloo next week.
Professor Markus Moos, from the Faculty of Environment at Waterloo, will lead a panel consisting of community members of all ages. This dialogue aims to build new common ground among different generations to push for positive change and solutions.
“Housing affordability is of major concern in our community, and first-hand information from those most affected is critical in developing new solutions,” said Professor Moos. “The discussion will lead toward solutions and policy recommendations that will be made public after the event.”
