Cities from Her Perspective 2024

In celebration of International Women's Day

Edmonton, like so many cities, is facing crisis in and around our downtown. Women and other equity-deserving groups are often side-lined in the decision making process and face disproportional impact to the lack of access to safe, affordable, and inclusive housing. This year, we want to shine a light on the complex and intersectional nature of the housing crisis and have invited key thought leaders and advocates on this topic, all who happen to be women. Join us for our annual discussion that seeks to provoke action, create connections, empower diverse voices, and amplify inclusive city building – all from Her Perspective.

Note: The event is open to the public (invite your friends!), but all attendees—including DIALOGers—need a ticket to join in. All ticket sales will be donated to Women Building Futuresand it’s on a pay-as-you-will basis. We recommend $5 or more.

Panelists:

· Janis Irwin, MLA

· Susan McGee, CEO of Homeward Trust

· Christel Kjenner, Director, Affordable Housing & Homelessness at City of Edmonton

· Dr. Karen Lee, Associate Professor at University of Alberta and Director, Housing for Health.

· Puneeta McBryan, Executive Director of the Downtown Business Association

Hosted by Jill Robertson and Tai Ziola
