Housing for all on North Shore: Community invited to share ideas

The housing events are being organized by North Shore Community Resources Democracy Café program
June 16, 2022 6:32am

A North Shore community organization is inviting the community to three events to learn about and discussion housing challenges in the community.

The three housing events are being organized by North Shore Community Resources Democracy Café program. The events feature a keynote speaker followed by a discussion on housing issues by local residents who will be given an opportunity to voice their own views about the importance of housing on the North Shore.

Murray Mollard, the executive director of North Shore Community Resources, said the events are an opportunity for residents and citizens to flex their democratic participation muscles.

“We really want a big emphasis on not only being a passive listener at these events but also being an active, engaged citizen/resident who shares their point of view with their fellow citizens/residents in the true spirit of democracy,” says Murray Mollard, the executive director of the North Shore Community Rescources.

“Robust democracies ensure that the people have meaningful opportunities to learn together and shape public policy. Even if we may disagree with our neighbours we need to be able to do so civilly and respectfully. That’s what we wish to model in these events,” he said. “There’s a municipal election coming in this fall and housing or the lack of affordable housing is a consistent top  of mind issue for many voters. We will invite elected representatives from all levels of government to attend to carefully listen to the people.”

Participation in the events is free but residents need to register here. Here are the details:
