On today’s show:
We’ll be all about housing and go to Halifax where the Housing Minister wants to get construction projects rolling. And then to Montréal, where protesters met at the Olympic Stadium to disturb Housing Minister Elaine Duranceau’s speech at the East Summit. In Peterborough, 50 shipping containers will be transformed into a new housing community for the homeless. Things are looking up in Kitchener, Ontario, where 500 new affordable housing units will be built. Nothing compared to the 65,000 units Toronto’s planning for the year 2030. And Terry Teegee, BC’s Assembly of First Nations Regional Chief, is working to find solutions to the housing crisis.
