Anna Lund, Assistant Professor, Faculty of Law, University of Alberta, will discuss how housing is a basic necessity. Earlier this year, the federal government recognized that it “is essential to the inherent dignity and well-being of the person and to building sustainable and inclusive communities.” Yet it is not explicitly protected in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Come hear about a series of cases that have argued that protection for the right to housing is implicit within the other sections of the Charter.

This event is free and open to the public.
