The event will explore issues of neighbourhood gentrification, access to affordable housing, how cities change, who gets excluded when communities become less affordable and the effective and innovative ways that residents are organizing and forging change to keep Toronto's neighbourhoods a home for all. Contrasts and comparisons will be drawn between Brooklyn and Toronto.

Presented by: Canadian Harm Reduction Network, Centre for Community Partnerships, City Studies at UTSC, Hart House Social Justice Committee, United Way Toronto & York Region.
