Yesterday, @PaulSinghWard6 & I were pleased to join the amazing @ywcakw team, which includes colleague @Ward4Michaud, for a pre-opening tour of new housing units for women & children. @CityKitchener is proud to be part of Phase 2 of this @CMHC_ca #RHI project. Congrats #TeamYWKW!

On #InternationalWomensDay, Spectrum has joined hundreds of community organizations across Canada to sign a statement declaring that gender equality cannot be achieved without supporting, celebrating, and uplifting trans women. You can sign too at docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

This past November we presented on Women's homelessness in Waterloo Region at the National Conference to End Homelessness. The recording of our session is now live.👀 #womenshomelessness #gbv #endhomelessness #waterlooregion youtube.com/watch?v=w0_5TA…

Take a moment to think about these six Canadians…Muslims…that lost their lives to an act of hate perpetrated by someone that was consumed by #Islamophobia. Now take a moment to think about what YOU will do to #fightIslamophobia...really, don't just think...ACT NOW!

Fourth! Affordable housing that is equivalent to our communities needs should be thought of like a four year plan. It needs to be aggressive and it needs to keep gender equity in mind. It also should be affordable by the standard of income levels of folks living on OW/ODSP.

Third! When we think of transportation, think of the needs of women in our community who often access less travelled routes at less travelled times in order to do shift work, part-time work and run family errands. We cannot swap lower costs for less options.

We’re giving a shoulder tap to regional councillors & staff as they work on the 2023 budget. Here are some considerations that we feel are important to remember for this budget. #regionofwaterloo #2023budget #genderequity #regionofwaterloobudget @ywcakw @ywcacambridge

YWCA Canada commissioned national surveys and convened ten focus groups to discuss individual and collective experiences of online hate across Canada. (1/5)
