Workshop Details

Former sector lawyer, Celia Chandler, will discuss the importance of preserving housing for vulnerable people at a time when affordable housing is scarce. Members, directors, and staff, please be ready to discuss your strategies to prevent eviction for arrears and for behaviour and hear of some others you haven’t used.

Celia Chandler began her career at the City of Toronto and then in an environmental organization, but has worked for two decades now in the affordable housing sector, first as a lawyer in a small Toronto law firm and now as the Deputy Executive Director of the Co-operative Housing Federation of Toronto. When she’s not doing her part for the housing crisis, she’s sitting in her Toronto laneway suite blogging and working on a book.
