The "tent-city" case was decided a few weeks ago, and found that Victoria by-laws prohibiting camping in public were unconstitutional, as they infringed upon homeless individuals' section 7 rights. The forum is meant to explore the impact this decision has had on the effects of homelessness, and the potential effects that the decision can carry. It will explore this through a number of different perspectives, reflected in the diverse panelists: The event will be held on Monday, November 17 at 7:00 - 9:00pm in room 159 of the Fraser Building at UVic. There will be a panel discussion and a period for questions. The event is free and open to the public, with members of the community welcome to attend. Presenters include:- Rose Henry, Aboriginal anti-homelessness advocate, and member of Homeless Nation (http://homelessnation.org/) |
