Citizen Participation in Social Housing - The Quebec Experience
Day / Time Monday, June 19th / 14:00 - 16:00
Event Description
Beyond access to adequate housing, which remains a priority in Québec, efforts have been made in recent years to develop a healthy and stimulating milieu where each citizen can participate in the decisions regarding his or her immediate environment and quality of life. Thus, management tools are put in place to improve the conditions of residents, but also to favour their inclusion within and integration into the social and economic life of the community. The proposed panel discussion should constitute a unique opportunity to exchange and share innovative ideas aimed at the same objective, that is, the implication of those for whom social housing programs have been developed.
