QUOTE FOR THE DAY
“Canada has the capacity to end the housing and homelessness crisis. This requires a human rights approach that puts people first. We must prioritize housing that is safe, healthy, and affordable for everyone… and this housing must remain affordable in perpetuity, so we don’t find ourselves here again in another generation.” – Federal Housing Advocate, Marie-Josée Houle

Join us for a discussion of Susan Abulhawa’s “Every Moment is a Life,” an anthology of short stories by 18 young writers in Gaza whom Abulhawa mentored during the genocide.
As Abulhawa said in a recent statement, “These young people risked dangers that most of us cannot begin to fathom just to attend writing workshops, because it was a singular outlet for intellectual exercise and creative expression. They came so they could be reminded of their potential. They came to feel that they are more than creatures seeking food and water and shelter. That they have a place in the world; that they have a voice, a relevance, something to contribute. They came to touch the lives that they thought they might still have, even if it was just for a few hours. It has been my honour and my privilege to know these beautiful, courageous individuals who deserve to be heard, to be read, to be protected.”
