MANITOBA HOUSING DAY 2024

Housing Day allows leaders in non-profit housing to share the successes and challenges of the sector with elected officials and raise issues that matter most to Manitoba’s affordable housing community.

Housing Day attendees will meet at the Downtown Commons on Tuesday, May 7th at 9:30am to enjoy a light breakfast followed by a panel on Advocacy. After lunch, elected officials will be joining us to discuss non-profit housing as well as a question and answer session.   

After the presentations, we’ll reconvene at the Capital Bar and Grill for networking, drinks, appetizers as well as a meet and greet with MLAs. 

Each member registered will also have the option to meet with MLAs at the Legislature the following day.  

Housing Day is a member only event and registration will be limited to 2 people per organization. New members are welcome. 

You will have the option to either attend the full day session ($100) which includes all the sessions, the networking event and the meeting with the party Caucuses on May 8th or Just the Housing Day Networking Event ($35) at Capital Grill & Bar at 5:30PM.
