Canada's first national shelter conference
Women’s Shelters Canada hosted the first Shelters of the Future Conference on June 13-15, 2018, in Ottawa. Bringing together 600 people, this was a unique opportunity for shelter and transition house workers to share and learn from their peers. It was also a chance for partners, policy makers, researchers, activists, and others to engage with the shelter sector. The conference offered practical opportunities for learning, knowledge sharing, and collaboration via workshops, panel presentations, and forum discussions.
