Community Housing Consultation coming to St. Marys

UPDATE: The Community Housing Consultation has been rescheduled for March 20, 2024. 

The Town of St. Marys and City of Stratford are joining forces to address an issue that transcends municipal boundaries: housing and homelessness.

On Wednesday, March 20, 2024, St. Marys and Stratford will host a Community Housing Consultation from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the Pyramid Recreation Centre. The event is an opportunity for residents to learn about local efforts around housing and homelessness.

The consultation will include a presentation from Stratford’s Social Services Department, with a specific focus on the supports available in St. Marys. Attendees will also have the chance to share input about housing and homelessness and chat with local service providers.

St. Marys’ Community Outreach Worker, Brittany Petrie, hopes residents will take this opportunity to gain insight on the complex issue of housing and homelessness.

“There is no simple cause or solution for the housing and homelessness issue currently facing our community,” says Petrie. “This event will help build awareness about what is being done to address these challenges and gather insights to inform future efforts.”

The event is free and open to all residents; advance registration is not required. Light refreshments will be provided.

For more information about the event, contact Brittany Petrie at 226-261-0098 or bpetrie@town.stmarys.on.ca. To learn more about local housing and homelessness services, visit www.townofstmarys.com/stonetownsupports.
