Human rights is a topic that comes up daily in the work we do with housing co‑ops.  Some recent examples:

• how to accommodate dogs in a pet‑free co‑op;
• is the medical note provided is enough to justify replacing carpet with laminate;
• what is the best way to finance the cost of a stair lift in a townhouse (do we really have to?);
• can we evict for noises that might relate to a mental health disability; and
• can a maintenance person with a drug addiction continue to work at the co‑op.

If these are the kinds of questions that are coming up in your co‑op, come to my session on May 4, 2019 to talk through what the co‑op’s obligations are and how best to meet them.

CHFT has a long history of education in Toronto but recently they’ve expanded their reach to Durham.  I was excited to participate in the first CHFT Fall Durham Education Day in 2018 and am pleased to be asked back.

May 4’s event will include lunch and an afternoon workshop from CHFT staff member Anjala Kulasegaram, about what makes a good board.  You won’t want to miss that.

Registration information is here.

Join us!  We’d love to see you.
