Housing on the Hill Day

Thursday, September 24, 2026, 8:00am-5:00pm | 66 Slater Street, 19 floor, Ottawa

Housing on the Hill Day is an annual, member exclusive event organized by CHRA that facilitates meetings between housing professionals and Parliamentarians to discuss issues of importance to the social and non-profit housing sector. Attendees also get access to ongoing programming including speakers and special guests throughout the day.

We’re excited to join CHRA members, housing professionals, and sector partners to advocate for solutions to the housing crisis. As the federal government considers what is next for the National Housing Strategy, we need to make sure that community housing is central to this project and that urban, rural, and northern Indigenous housing is a top priority in the next National Housing Strategy. 

Join us in Ottawa to share this message and to strengthen our collective voice! 

Attendees will meet with Parliamentarians throughout the day while we offer ongoing programming.
