As a follow up to our Food Insecurity and Housing presentation last week, I would like to share the following symposium information with you. I received the email right around the time we were planning the presentation, so I found it quite fitting. The BC Non-Profit Housing Conference is a three day event, but I believe you can register for the symposium only and it may be of interest to some of you:
"Housing and Hunger in BC: A symposium linking lived experience, policy, research and programming
Nov 20, 2013
Sheraton Vancouver Airport Hotel, Richmond, BC
You’re invited to a special day-long symposium exploring the connection between social housing and food security on November 20, 2013 in Richmond, BC. Housing and Hunger in BC: A symposium linking lived experience, policy, research and programmingis presented by BC Non-Profit Housing Association (BCNPHA) in partnership with Vancouver Coastal Health and the Food Security in Social Housing Working Group. Our long-term goal is to facilitate systemic change by identifying housing policies, programs, infrastructure, and design that will improve and sustain food security for social housing tenants.
The Symposium is a special, stand-alone component of BCNPHA’s Annual Non-Profit Housing Conference (Nov 18-20). Symposium sessions will explore a broad range of topics, weaving together research, practice, and lived experience. Registration for the Symposium opens on August 15th.
