2023 Housing Forum

Bringing together diverse leaders in the housing policy sector, LISPOP (Laurier Institute for the Study of Public Opinion and Policy) is hosting its 2nd annual Forum on Public Opinion and Housing Policy. The day-long event will be held on October 20th, 2023, at Wilfrid Laurier's Waterloo Campus, from 9:30am-4:30pm.  

Our keynote panel brings together Dr. Prentiss Dantzler (University of Toronto), Dr. Heather Rollwagen (Toronto Metropolitan University), and Sean Simpson (Ipsos Public Affairs) to explore how public opinion shapes the possibilities for meaningful policy action on housing. In addition, featured speakers will include academics, community members, and other policy stakeholders, from the Waterloo Region and beyond. We will also be hosting arts-based exhibits in the event space and providing lunch for all attendees. Stay tuned for more details!  

The Forum on Public Opinion and Housing Policy is free to attend, but advance registration is required. There are a limited number of bursaries available for students and community members to support participation.
