Are you just starting a career in housing?
Do you work for a housing-focused organization, but don’t have formal training in housing policy?
Could your work be improved by a better understanding of the fundamentals and history of housing policy development in Canada?
If so, this one-day course is for you; it is specifically designed as a professional development course to help to build your foundation or to fill in the gaps.
