What a great accomplishment by the Trail Association for Community Living.

Finding long-term housing can be transformative for those who have had to access shelters.

Keep up the good work!

The The Cridge Centre for the Family is a great example of putting its 152 years of experience to good use for the community and reminding us that the non-profit housing sector is about much more than just housing.

Today, we honour the lives lost to gender-based violence and stand with survivors.

This day is a stark reminder that the work to end hatred, discrimination and violence is far from over.

The last 3 days at #HousingCentral have been fantastic (although I must admit I’ve been a little distracted since Monday!). This morning we had a truly excellent keynote from @harrisonmooney.bsky.social with his great telling of Black history in BC, including his new portmanteau Hegemonologue!

We're grateful to have Harrison Mooney, author of the memoir Invisible Boy, on the #HousingCentral stage. Thank you for the unflinching discussion of your experience of transracial adoption, the complicated identity of governor James Douglas and BC's long-ignored Black History.
