Creating An Inclusive Canmore: A Night of Hope, Community and Affordable Housing

  • artsPlace 950 8 Avenue Canmore, AB, T1W 2B7 Canada (map)

Calgary author and journalist Jessica Barrett presents an evening of innovative housing solutions from around the world — and right here in Canmore!

Join Jessica for a reading from her new book, No Place Like Home — The Missing Key To Our Housing Crisis, and a panel discussion on how to harness the power of community to solve Canmore's housing crisis. Hear from Donna and Ryan Houston of Canmoreland Community Land Trust, Canmore Town Councillor Tanya Foubert and Mark Tkacz, Housing Programs Manager of Canmore Community Housing about grassroots solutions and promising opportunities to create better homes for everyone in Canmore. Moderated by CBC's Greg Colgan, this night aims to generate positive momentum to tackle one of the biggest issues of our time.

We’re excited to have Café Books onsite with Jessica's Book, No Place Like Home available for purchase!”
