Taking Action

The Ontario government has promised to develop a comprehensive plan to ensure everyone has “adequate, suitable and affordable housing” and it has launched a provincial consultation plan. Over the summer, provincial housing minister Jim Watson will be hosting regional meetings in 12 communities across Ontario; every MPP will be encouraged to host at least one meeting in their riding; and the government has launched a new web site to collect issues and solutions. This is our chance to be heard, to let the government know the real housing stories across the province, and to tell them about the solutions – more funding, new laws, better programs and services – that are needed in our neighbourhoods. Check back regularly on this site for new resources to help you to intervene powerfully in the consultation process.
