Healthy Homes for Healthy Cities

Dr. Kwame McKenzie, CEO, Wellesley Institute; and Julia Deans, President & CEO, Habitat for Humanity Canada

Join Dr. Kwame McKenzie, CEO of the Wellesley Institute, and Julia Deans, CEO of Habitat for Humanity Canada, for a conversation on the wide ranging and deep impacts this deficit creates in some of Canada’s most marginalized communities, and where cities should go from here to begin alleviating this systemic issue.
