[homeles_ot-l] Community Capacity Building Training for those in the homelessness service system

[Linda Lalonde]

I find it a bit odd that front-line workers are going to get their information on the Residential Tenancies Act from John Dickie from the landlords' organization!! Was nobody available to talk from the tenant's perspective such as Housing Help or Action Logement??
 
Some people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness may be there because of questionable and/or illegal behaviour on the part of the landlord. When that tenant goes to the Tribunal or to court, John Dickie may well be the landlord's lawyer and arguing in favour of the landlord's actions. Is that the best person to talk about supporting tenants?
 
Sorry but, as an advocate on the other side, I find this strange and bordering on offensive.
 
Linda.
