Every day we are reminded that many people in Winnipeg are experiencing homelessness.  The most recent street census found over 1,200 people in the city without homes.  Building on the CBA’s Tackling Homelessness Toolkit, our expert panelists will discuss the multi-faceted issues of homelessness and progressive tools and solutions available to local governments on the front lines.
