Tuesday Feb 13, 2024

 

5:30-7:30pm

 

Join the BC Poverty Reduction Coalition's Community Action Network and Changing the Conversation project at Douglas College in a celebration of Black History Month that honours Black and Indigenous solidarity in the struggle for dignified housing. We are excited to be hosting this conversation alongside the opening of an innovative housing project between Lu’ma Native Housing Society, Swahili Vision International, Aboriginal Housing Management Association, Aboriginal Land Trust Society, and BC Housing.

 

The evening will feature a kitchen table conversation with advocates, stakeholders, and government officials who will discuss housing precarity faced by Black and indigenous people and celebrate the solutions offered by communities working together.

 

We will provide a light dinner and the opportunity for relationship building for attendees.
