I’m pleased to share a ‘save the date’ for study tour: London (UK) in May 2024.

Here’s the link: https://cihcanada.ca/calendar-by-month/calendar-by-list/

For this particular event, there will be two components: a housing tour for 2.5 days, and then a homelessness tour for 2.5 days. We expect some people will choose to register for both, while others will pick just one.

The registration fee for each component is expected to be CA$900 + applicable taxes.

Questions pertaining to registration and logistics should be directed to Mary Clarke: mclarke@chra-achru.ca
