🥳🥳🥳🥳

There are many reflections, updates, and acknowledgements we are excited to share.

Everyone wants to solve the housing crisis, so why is Ontario so far behind on housing goals? If there’s any hope of solving the housing crisis, experts say all levels of government need to rethink their approach.

People want to be with other people. A recent event showcased the wisdom of William H Whyte, and I ask: why don’t our public spaces follow his lead? www.theglobeandmail.com/culture/art-...
