Moving the Needle: Housing, Affordability and Economic Inclusion

The housing affordability crisis is a complex challenge with far-reaching consequences, impacting individuals, families, and entire communities. Residents of the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area are not only struggling to afford a home, but they also face reduced economic mobility, contributing to growing social and economic disparities. While this challenge will be difficult to solve, it is not impossible, and YOU have a role to play.

The Brampton Board of Trade and CivicAction are pleased to invite you to join Moving the Needle, an event curated for rising leaders focused on housing, affordability & economic inclusion. This event will bring together industry professionals, and emerging leaders like yourselves, for a thought-provoking discussion and engaging networking opportunity.

Our panel features esteemed experts who will share their perspectives on these pressing challenges, providing insights from Scarborough to Chinatown to Brampton and more.

You’ll also have a chance to connect with other rising leaders, expand your network, and contribute to a crucial conversation about the future of housing and affordability in your community.
