Room 1011, Kenneth C. Rowe Management Building
ϳԹ, 6100 University Avenue, Halifax, NS
How will Canada meet the housing needs of the ageing population? How will the next generation of policy experts deal with the challenges in the rising costs of housing and the unique needs of older Canadians (e.g. smaller household sizes, lower incomes, increased health care needs)? How can all levels of government coordinate their efforts to meet local needs with broad policies and programs? In this moderated panel discussion, each speaker will offer their perspectives on the future of housing in Canada, exploring shared insights for planning, health and policy reform that connect issues of access and changes across these sectors.
