The consultation will include a presentation from Stratford’s social services department, with a specific focus on the supports available in St. Marys. Those attending the event will also have the chance to share input about housing and homelessness and chat with local service providers.
Brittany Petrie, St. Marys’ community outreach worker, hopes residents will take the opportunity to gain insight on the complex issues.
“There is no simple cause or solution for the housing and homelessness issue currently facing our community,” Petrie said in a release. “This event will help build awareness about what is being done to address these challenges and gather insights to inform future efforts.”
The free event is from 5 pm to 8 pm and is open to all residents. Advance registration is not required. Light refreshments will be provided.
