Subject: "Tenant Talk"- Reminder

The Ottawa Tenants Conference presents “Tenant Talk.”

The fifth Ottawa Tenants Conference was held at City Hall on September
10th and it was a huge success. Tenants attended workshops on
everything from maintenance and bedbugs to organizing Tenants
Associations and learning how the political structure affects laws
about their housing.  According to the evaluations we received, this
year’s conference also motivated tenants to 'get involved' in making
changes in how tenants are treated by their landlords and the laws.

With that in mind, the organizers have planned a follow- up meeting to
hear directly from tenants and give them an opportunity to connect
with each other and identify some common problems.  “Tenant Talk”
takes place on Wednesday, November 30, 2011 at 5:00pm in the CMHA
Boardroom at 1355 Bank Street, 4th floor.

This meeting is also a chance to hear about some of the local issues
that tenants face in Ottawa, such as the loss of affordable housing
through demolitions, the rising number of evictions, how the City of
Ottawa has been addressing maintenance problems, and finding housing
in a city that has the third highest rents in the country.  We are
also looking for feedback in organizing and planning the next Tenants
Conference.

There will be FREE pizza and bus tickets, and daycare subsidies are
available on request.

To register or obtain further information please contact 613-563-4532,
extension 456, or reply to robm at housinghelp.on.ca


TOGETHER WE ARE STRONG!
