It’s a pivotal moment for Peel Region. Years of persistent hardship and inequities mean the status quo is not working. Municipal governments have a lot of say in creating policy that affects our day-to-day lives, including one of the most substantial – our homes. Municipal councils are also best-positioned to advocate on our behalf with the province. Peel’s voice matters at Queen’s Park, and the upcoming municipal election is an important opportunity to push for change.
Let’s chart a new path forward, together, so that Peel can shape stronger housing policy, income supports, and foster equity in our communities.
I’d like to invite you to join us for a Municipal Election Forum on Monday, October 3rd, 2022 from 6:30 – 8:00pm EST. Hear from experts in the field, ask questions, and share your ideas with advocates, candidates, and your community ahead of the election. Register for free here: https://bit.ly/3vS5C5g
Our speakers include:
Angela Carter, Executive Director, Roots Community Services, Racial Equity
Doug Kwan, Director of Advocacy and Legal Services at Advocacy Centre for Tenants Ontario (ACTO), Housing
Devorah Kobluk, Senior Policy Analyst, Income Security Advocacy Centre (ISAC), Income Supports
This Forum is organized by Ontario for All, The Mississauga Food Bank, the Advocacy Centre for Tenants Ontario, Peel Poverty Reduction Strategy, the Peel Alliance to End Homelessness, the Centre for Equality Rights in Accommodation, and the ABR-SD Collective.
