Course Details

Housing is a human right, and Indigenous Peoples are disproportionately impacted by homelessness and lack of access to appropriate and adequate housing. Together, we will explore some of the challenges that exist in both on- and off-reserve housing and explore areas that we as planners should be considering to reduce this gap.

We will share information on a number of research projects that we have been part of. We will also be sharing lived experiences and touching on urban Indigenous, urban, suburban, and rural issues in what we now know as Canada.

Learning Outcomes

This year's theme is Homes Start with Planning and sessions will focus on the role of planners and planning in delivering housing that meets the needs of our communities and in helping to create equitable, inclusive, and sustainable solutions for all.
